Starving Sparrowhawk.

Just before Christmas I decided to put a wooden shutter over the cage of my loft as I was sick of the local sparrowhawk population bouncing off it on a daily basis.
Since putting up the shutter I have not seen it. But yesterday I decided to take the shutter off and low and behold the bloody thing is back again.

You need a larcen trap, a cage on a cage, bait in the bottom and when the bird goes in the top lid closes PM me for more info....then you can take the sparrowhawk away alive and release it.. Wink
