Stopping the House Sparrow cull

Sparrowhawk guard

Drastic measures have had to be taken in my front garden against the local Sparrowhawks after staring to loose 1 House Sparrow a day at least . The sparrows now come out of the Hawthorn and can feed behind the shield without worrying about being snatched off the fat balls in the talons of a hungry Sparrowhawk and Lynda can get on with her housework without standing guard. Everyones happy apart from the Sparrowhawk but you can,t please everyone.
A few Meadow Pipits were moving >W first thing this morning along with several Swallows >SW but otherwise quiet skies in the showers and drizzle.
38 Common gull were on the football pitch in Foxhill park at 0630hrs this morning with all but 5 gone by 0730hrs.
