a pr of hawks

seen a pr flying round our area again today, hen is massive, crows chased them off

Steve I have mentioned this before but we down here see more hawks than robins....It will get worse mate.

a mile from us in quarry theres a peregrine nest havent seen them yet, 1 of lads thought hen hawk was a goshawk it was massive, bigger than the 1 i saw last week

they are in full swing down here guys she eating be for she goes down on eggs

we have a pr ere mate the cock seems to be going in spliting the pack and hen grabing the birds ... but the crows seem to be a little help chaseing them but main help is air rifle and then there is a few lofts with yellow flashing becons on dont know it tat helps

yes phil they reckon the flashing beacons do help as the hawk cant concentrate on prey with it flashing

i worked on a refiery new build and full of flashing becons and percy still killing used to watc her most days goingin to the boys birds

gareth i speek as i find a lot of people i know use these and say they work dont use them myself tho

they also say that cd discs hung on string stops the hawks coming in garden aswell

I think its the same as everything lads, it works for a while but they get used to it, If they see something strange in a place they have been before it puts them off for a while, but after time they dont care, howmany times have you seen a crow on the arm of a scarecrow?

then you keep one step ahead and move them about

thats right Ian its the only way.

ive tryd every thing even standing in the garden dressed as a scarecrow ha ha.its gut renching wen you have workd so hard the damage they do

you look like a scarecrow anyway....

have had hawk attacts over the last couple of years, lost a good blue cock to one last year but always on the lookout whever my birds are out as they dont fear humans and will attack even if you are stood a couple of feet away from your birds.......
