Pretending to be a pigeon!

Pretending to be a pigeon! (Accipter nisus)

The Pigeons and Collared Doves usually perch on the top of this feeder whilst the other birds use the hanging feeders below. I reckon this Sparrowhawk was trying it's luck today ;)

Computers can be really silly at time.
Mine previewed this as 'Pretending to be a pig' which it certainly isn't.
It's a cracking shot, Ian.
