We had a Goshawk in our garden a few years ago, CameronS. It had killed Poor Charlotte, my one-eyed Speckeldy hen. It wasn't a wildie though and was eventually captured and taken home.
I'm afraid I may have been a bit scathing to the lovely man who came to try to capture it re. the keeping of birds of prey in captivity when i thought they should all be flying free in the wild How arrogant I was! It was only afterwards that I learned that if it weren't for the birds in captivity and the breeding schemes for them they would probably be extinct, in this country at least. So, if Andy, the hawk man is perchance a visitor to this forum, my apologies
