Résumé :	During the breeding season 2003 a clutch (2 male, 3 female) of Sparrowhawks in the county of Warendorf (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany) was checked for age in order to assess the time of ringing. All nestlings with the exception of a female showed symptoms of a disease caused by Trichomonas gallinae. One male nestling died, the second male disappeared some days later. Identification of the causative organism failed, because the examination was conducted after treatment with Carnidazol - Spartrix(R)Janssen. The female nestling most severely affected was hand raised and later released. The remaining nestlings without clinical symptoms as well as the infected third female nestling fledged successfully. This is probably the first described case of Trichomonosis in a clutch of free-living Sparrowhawks.
