Sparrowhawk Eye size and Nape patterns. (1 Viewer)

Many thanks Chris and Tom for I.D.ing the sparrowhawk with kestrel.
I'm attaching a couple of pics of a male sparrowhawk which i took some years ago.
I t stole one of my sparrows and flew across the field. I tracked it down and found it in the middle of a hedge looking very guilty!
Thought the shots might be good for your measuring task. Sorry I have not time to get involved with the project.
Thanks again , Bob

A couple of nice head shots, Bob. You did well to find it - I know all the spots they favour in my trees, but I often can't find them until they move... and my garden is only 20ft*20ft, so it's not as if they're far away.

Oh, and it may have" looked guilty", but I guarantee it never felt guilty ;)
