Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus)

This is another picture from the 25th October when small birds, including this Long-tailed Tit, were mobbing the female Sparrowhawk.
When I took yesterday's picture, I was hanging over the balcony to get as close to the hawk as possible. I didn't really care if I scared her off but I didn't. She stayed for a little longer.
