Equipment used
Canon 20D; Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 + TC 1.4x
It amazes me that you can track at that speed Max!! especially with the convertor on, Just brilliant my friend :t::t::t:
 
I hardly imagine how you could focus so well with a 20D at f/8....very good work Max (and beautiful subject too)
 
Thank you everybody for your fine comments!
Another thank to leighjauncey for pointing me in the right direction B :)... it is actually a sparrowhawk!
What led me astray was that there was a "real" goshawk every day for a week or so visiting the same spot, so I thought: How lucky I am!
Sadly it was not the case ...:-C
