Lovely pose - people get quite upset to realise their feeding stations DO make good feeding stations for Sparrowhawks as well!! I've had a visit from one but failed to get a photo (the young thrush escaped, it alerted me by hitting the glass in the kitchen window, I went out to see what had happened and saw a shadowy grey bird glide off the nearby fence).
