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

Shooting Sparrowhawks by whatever means is illegal!



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

Tbh Sparrowhawks are starting to be a problem here. are after any small
chickens.
I would prefer to shoot them rather than Collared doves who do no harm at
all.
I have chickens and any raptor here that takes one of mine needs to worry
about revenge.







oting Sparrowhawks and would in no way endorse this
