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!!

Wow! If looks could kill, we'd all be dead and buried ;) What a fantastic image this is Kim!
 
Such a well posed and detailed study of this haughty creature, Kim.
 
Superb shot of him Kim, I have had the same problem, or opportunity, as you, Tfs

WOW, what a stunning close-up of this beautiful Accipiter with that beautiful but penetrating eye. Awesome work Kim!!!!!
 
A gorgeous capture! Same thing going on here too with my hawks. I can always tell when they're around because the birds disappear into the nearby trees.
