Feeding time in the garden

TY Dick, and to Adrian it does come on a regular basis but although I love my garden birds these Sparrowhawks do have to eat and unfortunately they have a kind of larder here, although I can tell no birds have been taken for a few weeks or no signs have been left that I have seen?
 
Adrian I think there are lots around, its not until you see them feeding that you realise how common they are, Buzzards too are seen everywhere nowadays, I visited Ledston Hall last week and virtually stumbled across a Buzzard feeding its chick I was within a few yards of it too but camera not even turned on, if so it would have made an amazing photo! I have better photos of the Sparrowhawk in my garden than that one but posted that as it was so new, just let down by being in the shade.
 
Appears there was a hawk that was best friends with a hen who was desperate to learn to fly ..................... well according to Big Joe Turner

She said take me up hawky, take me up in the sky
She said take me up hawky, take me up in the sky
I'm just a little bitty chicken and I don't know how to fly

He said up, up, and away, we goin' fly all day
Up, up, and away, we goin' fly all day
Up, up, up, up, and away

He met a bald headed eagle flying up there in the blue
He met a bald headed eagle flying up there in the blue
Well the eagle told the hawk, I'm going steal that chicken from you

Well the hawk start flying like a P8 single jet
Well the hawk start flying like a P8 single jet
He said cool down chicken, the eagle ain't got us yet
