These are some more of my bird activities in my garden captured in end of Sep. You can also see some of my nature art work at the beginning and end. You can see that some of my bird feeders (which are supposed to be squirrel proof) have been additionally squirrel protected.The cages are not nice looking but had to be done as the squirrels come through the protectors and eat the bird food even though I had kept separate peanut feeders for them. This is for the first time I was able to see a Sparrow Hawk capture a Chaffinch. For the past two years I had seen many times the Sparrow Hawk capture Goldfinches but I didnt have a camera at hand and missed it. Before the capture four Chaffinches were feeding themselves, when suddenly the Sparrow Hawk appeared and captured one Chaffinch at the cage. They were there for a few seconds and then the Chaffinch fell to the ground. The scene you see is at that moment. It is so sad to see this... At 56 sec you will see continous bathing of birds filmed at a stretch. Music by Lohstana David from Jamendo .com
