Sparrowhawk pictures



Here are some photos of Artemis ( she's got a name now!) having just enjoyed  a gruesome dinner.
She's now 2 months old and looks almost fully grown-up.  An amazing change from only a few weeks ago.  She's come out with me on all the hawk-walks for the past few weeks, and although she doesn't fly, she  gets lots of experience meeting new people and seeing new sights.  When I leave her in the car, she perches on the steering wheel, much to the amusement of passers-by. Tomorrow, we're off to visit a care home in Taunton to show the residents the birds, then off to the Mid Devon Natural History Society meeting near Tiverton.
