I was so tempted to keep this as a pet. But I don't have anywhere to keep it seperate from my other birds. A hawk got into my cat enclosure and couldn't work out how to exit. I took several photos then after it surprisingly let me stroke it and pick it up, I carried it back out.
Why did it go into your cattery ?
No idea. Exploring perhaps. The cattery has the door open at the moment, I'm not enclosing the cats. Maybe there was a small bird in there it was chasing.
Perhaps it was somebody elses pet? Brian
Good pictures! Birds are difficult! Was it hanging upside down for very long?

That is possible. I met a guy on the West Highland Way (twice) with a pet hawk. It would fly off for a few minutes then return with a mouse. Hopefully if that's the case it'll find it's way home. It looked like it knew where it was going when it left.
It was extremely friendly and had no problem with me taking photos. I can't believe it let me stroke it and pick it up. I'm thinking it might be a pet hawk.
Was there any cat food out?
