ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________

These sparrowhawk chicks hatched on June 17th & 19th.

Sparrowhawks
Sparrowhawks are fast, agile hunters. It took me three years of patiently watching before I was able to get a camera on this nest.

Sparrowhawk chicks
There are four chicks in this nest - quite a squeeze now that they have grown so much.

Flight feathers
At this stage, their flight feathers are beginning to come through, replacing their soft chick-down.

Diet
And they are voracious. Watch them devour this blackbird. It won't be long before they can feed themselves.
