My friend was sat in Cirencester Park, and she witnessed a sparrow hawk swoop down on a small bird, and to her amazement the crow came to the birds rescue, whether the little bird survived the trauma is another question.

More Bird News from Australia. More bird photos of Australian birds as well.
It’s great that my birding pal Andrew has been in touch again (well I did ask him to as I want to find out more about Birds in Australia and hear about the places near Andrew and the birds he sees. )
Fascinating bird info sent [...]
