A WOMAN who lives near Stroud has had some unexpected company recently.
A female sparrowhawk has been making regular visits to Nicki Barker's home in Elmore throughout the summer.
She said: "She is fascinating to watch, and she comes in our garden looking for prey most days."
Nicki managed to capture some incredible photos of the bird of prey during one of its many visits to her garden yesterday afternoon.
