Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)

The dull skies of the last few days made me reach of the 100-400 IS lens this morning when the Sparrowhawk arrived for breakfast. It waited nearly an hour before leaving having failed twice to catch anything. We're only seeing it once or twice a week so far this year. ISO400 1/100 f5,6 through the kitchen window.
