A nice one for Raptor!

Yesterday the sparrowhawk who is a regular visitor to our bird table (we don't have to provide the food) landed below the bird table to eat his dinner, instead of disappearing over the field with his picnic. I managed a few pics, which I'll try and post.

Last week a young swallow managed to get into our bedroom and perched on the roof truss over the bed. Unfortunately, when it was disturbed it did what swallows usually do on rapid take-off. So we took the duvet cover off and put it in the washing machine.

A while later it's sibling repeated the trick in the other bedroom, so we ran the washing machine again. Don't you love birds?
