Lutra Lutra 611 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Chris, the Female Spar will take Wood Pigeons like John stated also. The Males, called Muskets obviously due to their much smaller size than the Female can only manage smaller quarry like Tits, Sparrows and larger birds such as Song Thrush and Black birds. However, through study and experience sometimes larger birds are taken. Many years ago a Falconer friend of mine took a cock Pheasant with his Female which one in the wild would never do so; and i've never heard or seen such a recorded happening. Also their prey items are so vast in the wild and the Sparrow Hawk is an incredible taker of all winged prey. My best regards. Lutra Lutra...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) OOOooooooo... I just love that noise when they are pairing up and the male is drumming. First time I heard it I was coming off the mountain at dusk, put the willies up me, I was only about 12. https://youtu.be/LuDZVc5agFU TC Edited May 15, 2015 by tiercel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
