Sparrow Hawk

Now before I was sidetracked by a rather playful Nigel, I was going to add a quick P.S. by blogging about something I witnessed at tea time.
Readers may remember that the hawthorn hedgerow is populated by a troupe of perhaps 50 sparrows. They constantly bicker and chatter throughout the day, raid the hens' food at every given moment and provide a noisy never still backdrop to the allotment and field.
Anyhow as I was approaching the field gate, I heard the distinctive "growl" of warning from two of the cockerels, this means that they have spotted a bird of prey approaching, and from my advantage point I could see a blur of a small sparrow hawk skimming the gravestones before he barrelled into the swarm of sparrows who had been perching on my runnerbean canes.
There was a puff of feathers, and he had gone in an instant leaving the flock of sparrows swooping away to the safety of the hedges.....
Apart from Albert (who has killed numerous sparrows) this was my first sucessful witnessed bird of prey attack
ps.
The Male Guinea fowl finally turned up at 8.pm.....he was eating some fallen corn and was trying to get into hens enclosure........I wonder if he will still be around by morning?
