Taxidermy Sparrowhawks set to go under the hammer at auction in Lincolnshire market town

                                              

Sorrowful - the three Louth Sparrowhawks 

IT is not known  how they met their fate but three taxidermy (ie stuffed) Sparrowhawks  are soon likely to have new ownership.

They are set to be auctioned as a single lot (number 451) at an auction to be conducted by John Taylors of Louth in Lincolnshire  on February 3.

Online bidding has already reached £18, but the estimate is that the hammer will fall at between £30 and £40. 

Meanwhile the last lot (number 796) in the sale is an attractive print of three Cranes in flight.

The pre-sale estimate is that this will fetch between £30 and £50.
