Great perch & pose, beautiful colourful & detailed image. Looks very similar in stature & I would guess size to our Sparrow hawk. An excellent image & fine post Stanley, tfs.

A great focus on this Hawk Stanley. Is it me or does it appear that he's got a load soon to be discharged from the rear? ;)

Beautifully captured!
