Spotted a hawk in the garden eating what I presume is a pigeon, judging by the carnage in the background. Obviously the local blackbirds didn't take kindly to this and tried to muscle him out, all the time chirping like hell!
Tried to take pics but it was just too far away and too low light to capture anything decent, but the vid at least shows a nice bit of dive-bombing. Eventually he gets pissed off and hightails it out of there with the leftovers, pursued by the angry mob. ;D
2mins ~140MB. I'm sure someone could edit it to something much smaller but I just don't have the energy this evening. Crashed my QT player but started up OK in VLC.
