H is for ................

.............Hawk.
Nipped into the supermarket this morning for a packet of digestives and spotted this feathery chap when we came out. His handler works for that very well known pest removal company and this is his seagull chaser. Apparently those gulls are smart enough to recognise the van and frequently make themselves scarce before Harry here gets airborne.
The guy did say that the idea was to scare the gulls away but just once in a while a gull gets a bit cocky (or stupid!) and finds itself on the receiving end of those long pointy talons!
Although not as sunny today, it has been too hot to do a great deal but I did valet the inside of the car this afternoon while MaggieD was off with a couple of her pals on a garden visit.
