And despite two recent sightings of sparrowhawks, I still haven't had a decent (i.e. long enough) view to be able to surely identify a male ☹
[one sitting on post by minor road in Anglesey flew off as we drove past with me having just enough time to think "that was a bird of prey" but of course no sign of it by the time I'd stopped and jumped out of the car, the other was in my back garden, heard "different" noises so looked up and a sparrowhawk flew over harried by a crow - but I had just a fleeting glimpse before they were hidden by trees]
At least in Anglesey I got plenty of views of Chough, they are by far my favourite crow, so noisy and cheeky - was hoping to get a photo but was never in a suitable location.
