Walking the dogs along the Yeovil Country Park Riverside Walk as usual, and a Wood Pigeon flew past my ear like his life depended on it, which a quick inspection of the shadowy trees that he’d fled showed it actually had. The Sparrowhawk was obviously a little embarrassed to have missed his prey, because he was employing the ‘if I can’t see you then you can’t see me’ principal.
