Seems like I am stuck with the blighters, not too keen on the




Sparrowhawk idea, they are not fussy about the birds they take!




Keeping them off the chicken feed was easy, I have made a covered




feeding station that works perfectly.




It is the hanging feeders and bird table that are plagued by them.








.22 idea is too risky, perhaps a blowpipe :-)








Shooting Sparrowhawks by whatever means is illegal!




Who mentioned shooting Sparrowhawks???? Shooting Collared Doves yes,


Sparrowhawks NO!




Read what you wrtote.

Suggest you read my original post! I mentioned there about a .22 and shooting the collared doves :-)

I have never mentioned about shooting Sparrowhawks and would in no way endorse this
