A sparrowhawk swooped into our back garden a couple of days ago.
I've never even seen one before.
This stunning, airborne predator had targeted a wood-pigeon.
Before the attack, the wood-pigeon had spent several days building a nest with its partner.
Sparrowhawks are swift and deadly hunters, but the wood-pigeon refused to go down easy and put up a surprisingly strong fight.
Contains footage of animal hunting and eating behaviour.
