Seeing a Sparrowhawk kill makes you realise just how fast these birds are! One unfortunate Blue Tit had its last meal from our Sunflower Feeder today when it failed to spot a Male Sparrowhawk sat on the fence. The Sparrowhawk launched instantly and caught the Blue Tit in mid air with an impressive display of acrobatics - fanning and feathering its tail to get in just the right position to make a grab of the victim with its talons. It was a rapid end-of-life for one of this year's Blue Tits.
