Seen at dusk yesterday in my GBS area, one Collared Sparrowhawk clutching bits of a Common Myna (well I picked the brown body, yellow foot and big white wing patch). My attention was drawn to it by the noise of gaggle of about 45 Mynas and alarm calls of some Magpies. It was a very brief look, I believe it was an adult female. It flew up from the ground, over the shop and I lost it, I then went around the shop. I then had a close look at an obvious male Collared Sparrowhawk, it flew from near the direction of where the other went. It was not carrying anything. So hopefully a pair, if they take one or two Mynas a day..........
