Sparrowhawk Vs Carrion Crow

We had another great trip to Frodsham Marsh and I saw my first Sparrowhawk of 2013.


The Carrion Crows were mobbing the Sparrowhawk and seemed really annoyed with the it, so it didn't stay around for long.


A Bullfinch and a Little Grebe were another two new birds I have seen at Frodsham Marsh. It was also amazing to see a flock of 800 Lapwing doing aerobatics.

Back to school next week, but time to squeeze in one more day of birding.
