Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)

The problem with having a feeding station in the garden is that you do create a menu for these visitors. It had a blackbird for breakfast on Tuesday and returned for this picture on Wednesday, This time he dined elsewhere!!

.... however, it does give you some great photo opportunities, doesn't it Kim. I've only had two, maybe three Sprawk visits here over the years - mostly a flash of feathers whizzing through.

A super picture this - very well done lass.
