Gutted


    Gutted when I got home from work yesterday and found
    a Mistle Thrush wrapped up in an old teacloth that the wife
    had wrapped it up in after trying to revive it, she said it had
    flown into the window after being chased by our daily
    Sparrowhawk who has already claimed a Goldfinch and a
    Collared Dove out of the garden, I used to like seeing it but
    Im fed up with it now as the Dove and thrush were getting
    quite tame towards me, Ive a Robin that eats out of my hand
    so Im hoping that stays safe,  I know its nature but its still
    upsetting she was a beauty.

   Good turn out at the Calderdale Bird group last night and
   bought myself a 2016 Northern Raptor report.

It's a shame they don't prey on Magpies and Crows Dave.
There are hundreds on Swalesmoor's Ringby Top.

I wish they did John, yeah there's loads of corvids up there. I was surprised to see a Kestrel out hunting in the back field in the snow late evening yesterday.
