Mr No Tails lucky escape

I've had lovely day in the garden today, surrounded by birds, butterflies and the squirrels. The highlight of the day if not the year was a visit from a Sparrow Hawk. I had been taking photographs of Mr No Tail Sunbathing when suddenly he looked up and darted into the bushes, a fraction of a second later the Sparrow Hawk swooped and only narrowly missed him. Didn't manage a photo of him in flight but he did pause for a while on the garden bench which was fantastic. Later in the day a new Chaffinch chick appeared with his mum to feed. We have Harebells just coming into flower now at the top of the garden. And I've finally decided to give our third squirrel a name, Mr Redfoot. As he has the most amazing ginger blob on both his feet.
