Took a short-cut through Hillington Industrial Estate this afternoon (in an attempt to avoid displaced motorway traffic) and witnessed a male Sparrowhawk attacking a tight flock of about 20 Starlings, seperating a single bird and persuing it at great speed before giving up and flying off. The whole episode lasted about 10 seconds, and was probably missed by about 100 other frustrated motorists. However it was a rare and much appreciated connection with the wilder side of urban nature. The Serengetti comes to Shieldhall?
