"Here a warmer brighter day with a feeling of spring to come with the first crocuses out adding a touch of purple amongst the other bulbs.
Sitting looking out to back garden and the Sparrowhawk swooped in. All birds took off and the squirrel munching on nuts went rigid and stayed like that for nearly 10 mins. The birds now coming back, the Sparrowhawk has departed without a catch this time."
