Default Sparrowhawks

Another pile of bluetit feathers this morning!

Whilst I accept that sparrowhawks need to eat and survive, I feel that
by feeding the tits, I am encouraging them and giving the sparrowhawk an
easy meal.

Someone told me that the way to deter the sparrowhawk is to get a model
owl into the garden - anyone tried this, and does it work!
