Eurasian Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)

Another shot of last month's bird, getting further away from the camera all the time so this is a pretty heavy crop.

Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding!

John

Edit: a bit overexposed probably, it’s difficult to judge. The same image can look fine on the laptop but wrong on the iPad, and vice-versa.
