Lovely collage.

superbe collage

Thank you!

They are very beautiful birds Roger, but one we dread in our gardens. Some poor little bird has given him a good lunch! I like your collage very much.

They are regular visitors here and seen quite often eyeing up the prey. I guess that is the problem with feeding the garden birds, amongst the usual regulars we have somewhere around fifty Sparrows, maybe more, inhabiting the Ivy hedge. Generally can tell when the hawk is around, everything goes quiet for a while; Thanks Rosa!

Gorgeous pictures and great collage, Roger ! Happy week !!!

Many belated thanks Marie-claire!

Well taken Roger, Had the same here a few days back when a hawk snatched a bird straight off the bird bath. Unfortunately no camera handy. Looking at the feathers lying around seems it might have been a decent sized prey.

Thanks Maurice, they do move very fast and we often have them ambushing prey at very short range. The female will take on pigeons and similar size birds at times.

What a caught ! Marvelous set and collage

Thank you Ramon and thanks for the group suggestions too.

A wonderful series of shots Roger - a great opportunity not missed. Thank you for posting to FFF.
