Ah 'the look'.... he can do it too LOL.

A lovely picture you've got of this little raptor - very well done Keith. I think you did well to spot him hiding in the leaves!!!
 
Well spotted ans captured, Keith; these aren't easy to see in that sort of setting, I often miss them unless I see them fly there
