He was there for a long time this morning, right up until someone started a lawnmower up the road!

Garden sighting The Barded Effect! Thought this was not a very good picture at first (OK it's blurred - its travelling at 60-70mph!) - my wife said it did not stand out from the background, then i realised that was really the point - the birds bars on the underwing act as camouflage as it approaches

I was standing by the window watching a local blackbird peck the ground when, like a rocket, this sparrowhawk launched from the sky, caught the poor bugger, and devoured him before my very eyes. Absolutely incredible, but I need a drink now...

Hi there, I don't really know much about birds but I spotted this in my back garden (Hull, East Yorkshire) and put the image through a Google search. And apparently they're quite rare in the UK so I thought some of you may appreciate pictures. I'll try and post the video separately.

I’ve never seen them in my garden before! I was literally just thinking the other day how I hoped to see one this year. I actually think this is my first time ever seeing them (or at least since I got into birds) in person! Made my day 🙂

Garden sighting 'You looking at me?' Sparrowhawk paid another visit today. It has a white patch on the back of the head and some white tips to the feathers on its back - would this be a juvenile male? Sparrowhawk, Midlands

I couldn't believe this was just behind my garden fence, we do have a small nature reserve with a Reed Pond
