Many gamekeepers and stalkers will be having a well deserved rest after spending some very long days and nights working throughout the season and there is only a small window before it starts all over again. As I’m writing my blog there is a dull thud on the window setting the dogs off on a barking frenzy but it transpires to be a one very dazed cock sparrowhawk which had been after the songbirds at the peanut feeder. He looks like something from a Tom and Jerry cartoon but I am sure he will recover and be back in an hour or so terrorising the wee birds.
