I parked by the Puddle on Hacho again to see what came down to have a drink and as on the last visit it was the
Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) but this time there were two of then and they drank but then became very agitated, at first I thought it was me but then I saw a male Sparrowhawk (Gavilán Común / Accipiter nisus) sat in one of the Pine trees.

Things went quiet after a while once the Squirrels cooled off and some more birds came down including a
White Wagtail (Lavandera Blanca / Montacilla alba) which picked around on the edge of the water but all of a sudden the Squirrels kicked off again and then a big shadow came across the pool as the
Sparrowhawk dived for the
White Wagtail which thankfully slipped away into the Amond tree.
