accipiter nisus

  1. Missed

    Missed

    While we were watching the pretty Wheatears on the dry stone dyke behind the car, suddenly a Eurasian Sparrowhawk swooped over the bonnet and headed for the dyke. Remember I mentioned a big black hole a couple of weeks ago, well he landed right there, and spread his wings for a moment cowling...

    A male sparrowhawk that heard the sound of my camera shutter and flew out of the garden. I have used ON1 to sharpen the photo given the high ISO

    The recent sparrowhawk from a different angle of view. Today was dull and grey, almost like in November. Thank god its March and we will soon have green trees with warmer weather. The broken stem is a result of heavy snowfall.

    A migrating sparrowhawk flies across the sea to reach the next island. The Changshan Islands are the vital step-stones for migratory birds to cross the Bohai Strait.

    Female Sparrowhawk visitor

    Our budgies kicked off a racket behind the curtains, next to the patio doors. When I parted the curtains this lovely lady was eyeing them up and trying to figure why she couldn't get at them. This is the second time one of these has attempted to get an easy snack. The Budgies do have a hide!

    Taken when still at my last home. Opportunities for flight shots are much fewer now, though chances of a perched Sparrowhawk (at close range) must be better. Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well, and good birding! John

    A day chasing the Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) from a far, the videos usually focus on close-ups, in this case the priority is the setting.

    Extremely heavy crop, fairly extreme sharpening. The shutter speed, aperture and ISO make no sense for a flight shot, but I'd been photographing perched Redwings and there was no time to change things when this Sparrowhawk suddenly appeared in the distance. Thank you for your comments, stay...
