A standard response from a Sparrowhawk when one of the curious Squirrels gets too close. The majority of Sparrowhawks stand their ground and make themselves look as big as possible; remember this Sparrowhawk is slightly smaller than a Collared Dove, so a brave bird really.
Through the double glazing, a bit of glare on the glass too. The strong colours are as seen; the colours of the male change drastically depending on the light... at least to our eyes
