Seems like I am stuck with the blighters, not too keen on the Sparrowhawk
idea, they are not fussy about the birds they take!
Keeping them off the chicken feed was easy, I have made a covered feeding
station that works perfectly.
It is the hanging feeders and bird table that are plagued by them.

.22 idea is too risky, perhaps a blowpipe :-)

Shooting Sparrowhawks by whatever means is illegal!

Yes, of course, but tbh I'd rather have collared doves in my garden than
sparrowhawks. They are a perfect nuisance here. They look at my baby hen
chicks every day with a view to getting them.
