Elwood Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 One of my biggest regrets ever will be not taking a camera to work everyday, I believe I have or will whiteness sights that few people seldom get to see. Yesterday another one happened, while walking around the perimeter of one of my release pens doing general maintenance I noticed a female sparrow hawk fly up from off the ground no more than ten yards away from me and perch in a tree . I looked around at the floor expecting to see a black bird or a pigeon and there it was to my amazement, a woodcock. The sparrow hawk could only of just struck the woodcock as it was very much alive and very much intact . I went into the pen and walked up to the woodcock expecting it to fly off, but it didn't. I picked it up and moved it to somewhere safer as I know sparrow hawks will come back eventually to finish of the pickings. After lunch, I thought to myself what a wonderful photo opportunity, not many people get the chance to photograph a woodcock . So I grabbed my camera and went back to where I had placed the woodcock and the bloody thing was dead, typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilishdave Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Shame you did the sparrow hawk out of its dinner for nothing. It is amazing the things you see when you are out and about though. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
