Thanks for that
.....saw a hawk on the fence outside my window a month or so ago here in West Derby, wish I’d have taken a pic. They are about & take the birds they catch to the back of the garden. I’ve seen them fending off the magpies.

I hear that you have to be very careful when using google to find bird cams. When you find the right one though it is nature at its best. There is one on the Ospreys nesting in Cumbria that is worth a watch.There are some great live cams out there. Some people get really invested in them.

If you are in West Derby and it was taking magpies are you sure it wasn't the peregrines?
It’ll be a Sparrow Hawk, Peregrines are more “ open sky “ hunters - need a lot of space to hit their prey on the wing.
....it wasn’t taking magpies, it was chasing them as they were trying to pitch its catch. It could’ve been a peregrine, but I’d say it was no bigger than a standard pigeon.

Sparrow Hawks are a bit of a rarity around West Derby in my experience. Plenty of Kestrels and a regular nesting Buzzard plus the recent arrival of the Peregrines. But maybe.
I seen 15 nice in my greenhouse - then I took them out of my mouse traps, about them in my dustbin ......

I live in Bowring park, lots of magpies, wood pigeons, robins and a few greytits, couple of squirrels, but what seems to have disappeared by us are the blackbirds and sparrows for reason. A few foxes about too
