Amber, Brochie certainly looks like a big old softie to me, I just love that face. I can picture his big paw coming down on that little praying mantis. :yikes: OUCH!

I also had a similar experience to you, a sparrowhawk came into the garden trying to catch the smaller birds on the feeders, I ran to get my camera but when I came out again it was gone. Very frustrating.:cryin:
