A Sparrowhawk assaults a Magpie in the apple tree of a Wiltshire garden, the noise that follows is loud as the Magpie fights in an effort to escape, but it seems to be in vain. Quietly the Sparrowhawk takes his prey to ground and grinds it to the floor, he takes an occasional rest and looks in the distance. 20 minutes of fighting are interrupted by a cat who runs towards the birds, as the Sparrowhawk flies off with the Magpie in his claws they separate and the squawking stops. The Magpie has escaped.
