Sory now new pixs from me had a very busy time after storm power flash in mains took out my computer. New one now in place with nice upgrade but bank is lower by £2500!!!! Insurance no pay "Act of God" Something needs to be done about insurance companies finding any excuse not to pay out

Graham, have you asked them to prove that it was an act of god and not some other action? If it was an act of god then surely you can raise a legal case against this god person for negligence and the insurance company should foot the legal fees. Another reason to spend no money with them.

Reading a magazine and sipping my coffee I was suddenly rudely interrupted with a huge bang on the patio doors. Obviously a bird strike but not the normal glancing blow. This was a full pelt collision. I saw the dove fall amongst the pots on the patio so leapt up to see if it was stunned. There stomping on it was a beautiful Sparrowhawk. I instinctively waved the magazine at the bird hoping to save the dove. Despite being only 3 feet away from me the hawk glowered at me indignantly and took off with the dove under slung. The hawk dropped it in the border then swooped round and through the bushes (remarkable agility) to land on the dove and continue stomping. The dove was clearly dead as it fell like a stone from the hawk grip landing upside down. So I resolved to let nature continue and went for the camera. Taken at an angle (to make things worse) through double glazing in poor 12,800iso light, it was never going to be really sharp. But I stupidly didn’t check the shutter speed ….1/100th for a ducking and plucking bird was a little sloooow. Unfortunately before I could change speed, the hawk had enough of being watched and took off with his meal into the woodland, leaving me with the feathers …….which Jan insisted I had to collect up before she was ‘going out there’. Nature can be brutal.  Click here to comment on this image.

Not so bad for a Sony wundercamera! Well caught Eric. I think that you are very lucky to have 'doves that act as bait' for the sparrowhawk. All I get here is the three buzzards who circle over looking for rabbits stupid enough to be out in the field in daylight. I can see rabbits in the field in the summer mornings and evenings but seldom if ever in the day.

Alternatively Hercules says you can borrow some of his rabbits as decoys……  Click here to comment on this image. To be honest I don’t know why I bother shooting through dirty double glazing (haven’t cleaned it for 3/4 weeks) in dull weather. It’s not so bad if you shoot straight through the glass but at any angle is an extra quality loss. That said it always scrubs off some of the IQ from any camera, but the Sony seems to suffer from artefacts that need more post processing …..not a good recipe for dull weather work.

Not too bad through double glazing, a nice Sparrowhawk although the dove might not think that.

Looks like those rabbits are sensible and staying out of clear sight. Best stick to the edges.
