Uh oh

I sneaked up on the redwings very slowly and stood by the fence a short distance away watching them. Luckily, this one one stopped in the sunshine en route from the dense holly tree on the left to the shady hawthorn on the right.  

I was enjoying watching them move between the trees when my eyes widened at the sight of a brown-backed bullet flying past me at full tilt before swerving into a small gap in the holly tree.  From the commotion and squawking, it didn't sound good for a redwing.  I guess I wasn't the only one watching them from a distance!  

Imagine, you fly all this way...
