Birds of Prey and how to cope –

The Eurasian Sparrow hawk  also known as the Northern Sparrow hawk or simply the Sparrow hawk, is a small bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. Adult male Eurasian Sparrow hawks have bluish grey upperparts and orange-barred underparts; females and juveniles are brown above with brown barring below. The female is up to 25% larger than the male – one of the largest differences between the sexes in any bird species. Though it is a predator which specialises in catching woodland birds, the Eurasian Sparrow hawk can be found in any habitat and often hunts garden birds in towns and cities. Males tend to take smaller birds, including tits, finches, and sparrows; females catch primarily thrushes and starlings, but are capable of killing birds weighing 500 grams (18 oz) or more.
