When oh when are the RSPB going to wake up and look at our diminishing song bird population. All they ever talk about is Raptors apart from telling us to count and feed our garden birds. If only they were so keen on small birds
Well we have been feeding a good many birds but now all we are feeding is a pair of Sparrow hawks (Packham's favourite bird).
We were feeding a dozen Goldfinches,many Blackbirds,Blue,Coal,Great and longtail tits,Siskins,Redpolls,Robins,Dunnocks and Tree Sparrows.
Within the last three weeks we have lost the lot to a pair of hawks,fresh feathers every day except today as there is b....r all left for them to kill.
These little sods kill everything with the Hen taking anything up to Partridge or woodpigeon size and have decimated two covey's of English partridges where I stalk.
It's only a matter of time before everything will disappear,including the hawks.
