A sparrow hawk has killed a blackbird and is standing on top of his prey. There is snow on the ground
Sparrowhawk gets a meal. 9 blackbirds have been feeding in our garden while snow has been on the ground. There are now only 8. This male sparrowhawk is not a great deal bigger than the blackbird, which he eventually flew off with. Holmfirth, West Yorks #ukbirding #yorksbirds

A siskin on a small branch against a pale blue wintery sky
One of the five Siskins that came into our Holmfirth, West Yorkshire garden yesterday. It's very snowy here and we are getting more birds than usual on our feeders. These lovely little birds are garden visitors we only get a couple of times a year. #ukbirding #yorksbirds

There are three chimney pots on top of a snow covered chimney stack. Two of the chimney pots have a Jackdaw on top. The background is not in focus, but is white and grey snow covered cottages across the valley
