| The escaped hawk - it struck terror into the hearts of nearby woodpigeons |
ANYONE lost a Harris hawk?
This escapee was spotted in tall trees at the end of South Sea Lane in Humberston at lunchtime today.
The bird was being mobbed by two magpies, one of which approached close enough to aim a peck - at which point the huge raptor flew off to another tree, terrifying a group of perched woodpigeons which scattered from the branches in panic.
The Harris hawk is a native of North America, but is one of the most popular birds of prey among UK falconers.
