Good catch Doug, these are not often a garden visitor though I did see one snatch a Dunnock off the fence a couple of years back.

Beautifully captured Doug. Haven't had one in my garden for quite a while, and I have never managed to get a photo! I do worry for the little birds that I encourage though.

Hope you have a good new week.

Doug Shepherd club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thanks so much for your kind comment Rosa. I had one last summer that was chasing a bird through the garden but misjudged a turn, hit a shrub and crashed missing the target. He was okay and quickly flew off, probably a little abashed;-))

Hope you also have a good week, Doug
