Morning Sprawk (Accipiter nisus)

One of two visiting the garden at present. This one has pale yellow eyes and usually comes in the morning. The other one has orange eyes and seems to prefer aftenoons. This one spent around 40 minutes in the garden this morning. It landed on the fence when it arrived but soon took up station on the back of the garden bench. Not that it made any difference. It eventually left without a catch.
