23 Nov Sparrowhawk drops in

Post by Ian & Dianne Barnett »

Garden bird watching... plenty of blue tit, great tit, goldfinch, a robin, collared doves... and then...

a sparrowhawk dropped in an was resting up on a neighbours fence for 10 mins or more. I was able to get my camera and get close hiding behind our fence. Couple of pics added

Lovely photos, I did not realise that the Sparrowhawk's Iris was not always round, or is this a peculiarity of this individual!
