Sparrowhawk

This afternoon we came home to find a dead bird on the tiles in the garden. We were not sure which breed it was, and knowing that many foundations keep a keen eye on birds, I called up the local department of wildlife. They explained that it was most likely a female young Sparrowhawk, which had flown into the house, while hunting her prey.
The bird it really beautiful, its a shame it died. The cats have been watching the bird from inside with great interest.
After finding out what to do with it, they can sniff it a bit, before I dispose of it. I might get Odin to dig a small hole in the garden, who knows. It just seems so nasty to throw it in the garbage, when its such a big and lovely bird.
The bird is about 25 - 30 cm from beak to tail feather.

Happy Birthday, Lisa

We havent had a very nice summer in Denmark, and I think its safe to say that we already have the beginning of Fall here. Todays weather is calm though, and naturally that must because of Lisas birthday. She celebrated her birthday yesterday at the daycare, bringing cake and buns for all the kids. They sang songs and Lisa almost says "two", while showing two fingers. Bravo!
Today she will be surprized by Oma & Opa, who are visting from Holland to celebrate her birthday. Im sure she will love it :-)

Recently we had a surprize visit from Mormor & Morfar, which Lisa greatly enjoyed - especially when relaxing in the sun with her grandfather (picture).

Happy birthday, sweetheart!
