Wednesday 3rd February 2016

Another cracking day. Bit chilly with fair amount of sun.
An ideal day for a walk beside the Thames. Walked over the new pedestrian bridge to View Island over to the lock then some time talking with the builders on the Kings Meadow Baths project. Looking a little different from my last visit back in September. My goodness what an amazing job of the roof. All tiles handmade as original, so good to see this iconic building being fully restored.
              Arrived home early afternoon to garden mayhem. Could not work out the noise at first but soon realised it was a male sparrowhawk being attacked by a crow. Arrived home to see them both on the lawn scrapping. Sadly unable to secure a photograph although the trail camera snapped the spawk resting on the rope balustrade. Spawk in no time was then chased away by a magpie.
Never seen this behaviour before, it was so aggressive.
Spawk returned in the time it took me to make a cuppa, managed a photograph this time round.
