More rain and a Sparrow Hawk

Yep, its pouring down again. As I sat wondering what to do, should I go and get soaked and put some food down at my feeding station, my attention was drawn to a Male Sparrow Hawk sat on my garden fence, it looked how I would If I decide to go down the patch, bugger that I thought. I took a couple of quick pictures as a record, and fully expected the Hawk to take off.

It did a few seconds later to the opposite fence.

It sat there for a while and so I decided to take a closer look, and
with a bit of luck get some better pictures, this I managed to do, but
it was at this point I noticed he had a broken leg.

I placed a day old chick at the side of it, but it
took no notice. After a while I decided to catch
him up and seek help from my local Animal rescue centre.
I will update later.

I contacted the Animal rescue centre who were just out at an RTA but would call me when they got back. As I waited the Female came looking for her mate. At first she sat on a fence post at the end of my garden, before swooping down and checking out my borders. I wish we had some light in this Country so the images could be better.

This is Hawkey just about to go to the rescue centre.

The Lady who is going to look after him.

Update. I have received a call saying the injury to Hawkey was irreparable and he had to be put to sleep, very sad.
