another poor photo as backlit and a quick click which i had to resize and crop to get on here
last was male sparrowhawk in Warrington area UK
is this a female? or juvenile or another type? brown with tail bars and some buff flecks
the bird table is 200mm peak to base

Sparrowhawk, wouldn't like to age or sex it on this shot, looks big though.

thank you. very brown compared to the definite grey of the first. it sits in same plane as the bird table which makes it around 30 cm. a small but amazing garden this!
