Hawking for songbirds in the Kent Downs

            Probably lured by sparrows and finches or other songbird which constitute 99% of their diet, rather than the rather vulnerable mating frogs, this adult male sparrowhawk certainly seemed in no hurry (nobody predates sparrowhawks) and was more interested in looking in and under hedgerows for some small hiding (but yelling their heads off) prey.
