I have been doing some long overdue pruning<\/em> in our garden and now have a 4 foot high mountain of stuff to get rid of. I say pruning<\/em> because if it is done properly the plants get healthier, ours might not survive. I did wonder if any animals would hide in the mountain but I was a little surprised to see a black and red patch on the top of it today. It didn’t look like vegetation so I went and had a closer look. It turned out to be a rather bloody Blackbird corpse. I left it there and was rewarded within minutes with a Sparrowhawk coming in to feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
