male sparrowhawk (accipiter nisus)

Happy New Year to you and your family, Margaret (Fred is back too )

Great series, Mags! He seems quite relaxed in your garden ... up until this shot, where he appears to be angry at having been photographed while preening. "Is there no privacy here???!" But seriously, they're all great shots. The preenings ones are fascinating, but this one's still my favorite. |=)|
