Hi Primrose,
Sounds like that one had a lucky escape!! If they regularly nest in such conspicuous places, it's no wonder that the sparrowhawks like them. Apparently they are partial to young starlings as well.

Asparagus not growing yet.

Cheers, PJ

Hi All,
I moved here about 3 months ago and the garden was used by cats from all directions. I starting using this cat repellent and haven't had to pick up anything for about a month now. Hope this link works OK.
Cheers.
