Ah yes it could have been, but it didn't seem to have those long crane fly legs!

Just seen a bird of prey in my very small garden after hearing wings flapping.


Not sure what it was, but it wasn't a Peregrine Falcon.


Buzzard?


It saw me through the window and flew off before I could get a photo.


Only the second time I've ever seen one in the garden. The last one got a starling, and I've never seen a starling in the garden since.


Hope the sparrows come back :(

My eagle-eyed partner spotted THREE goldfinches in a tree overlooking my garden yesterday!


Maybe the nigella seed I have been hopefully putting out for ages is finally attracting them ....


The sparrows haven't returned yet though - I can hear them twittering away in somebody else's garden :(

Keep going with the nigella seed Sue. We regularly get one goldfinch on every perch (6 in total) of our nigella feeder and over the summer had at least two families with young birds coming to feed. At one point there must have been 12 or more in the garden. I think they have become very common around here now.

    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
