Male Sparrowhawk, calling in Female.

Male Sparrowhawk, calling in Female.

Have been keeping an eye on my sparrowhawks again this year, and now that the eggs have hatched, I can sneak in (under camo netting) and wait for the male to return with food for the female to take back to feed the chicks, has to be one of the best times in the year for me, sitting watching the youngsters grow and take there first flights,
Sorry guys, but you might get a bit fed-up with pics of these birds.....lol.
