Sparrowhawk


Bev has spotted what she thinks is the male sparrowhawk in the garden - the first time she spotted him, he killed a small bird and flew off with it before she could photograph him. However, the next day she spotted him again and managed to take about 20 shots before he flew off. This is the best of them.

We are impressed with his scary eyes! Mind you, he's not as scary as Mrs Sparrowhawk, who is bigger than him and looks very fierce! Thank goodness we are not little birds, though we will take extra care when we are out in the garden - after all, we don't want to get mistaken for lunch by a hungry hawk!
