They are so beautiful Hazel, but watching them catch their prey and then remove all the feathers before they fly off with the bird is horrible. As is having to go out and remove the feathers which they kindly leave in a neat pile. I hate the idea I put out food for the birds which then leads to them being killed

I have pictures of one in my garden looking round for supper, I thought it was so lovely, but when I saw what they did I was almost sick. I know it's nature, and I know if it's not one of the birds I feed, it will be another one.
