This post is a modified revisit to November 9th 2016.
From my kitchen window I can see a pergola where my husband feeds the birds.
A couple of days ago there he was, sitting on the pergola - a northern goshawk!
This time he had no catch and was a bit smaller than last time.
Last time (October 2016) I got really frightened for the goshawk bumped straight
to my kitchen window grabbed with a wood pigeon - dead of course.

Looking from the window I saw the hawk sitting a bit stunned because of the impact.
After a few minutes it flew away with its catch.
I live a half an hour from the centre of Helsinki, so this is no wilderness.
But beside my house there is a small woods, very dense with old spruces etc.
I think the hawk lives there and keeps an eye on the small birds.
My garden is absolutely lifeless, like after a nuclear catastrophe.
All hundreds of sparrows, great tits and black birds are hiding. No bird at sight.
It feels quite awkward & odd. I wonder how many days it takes until they return?
I don't know if this is any Gartenglück, but I'll link
to Loretta's and Wolfgang's nice meme.
The photos are not mine, but my friend's - Thank you Harri!
Wishing you all a nice weekend.
