Sparrowhawk again - just in time for my Garden Birdwatch!

   
Just when I thought the Sparrowhawks had given up due to the very wary birds in my garden, this one appeared when I was watching my rat and wondering why it wasn't dead from the poison I saw it take! The rat bolted when it clocked the hawk and I took more steps to get rid of it, time will tell.
I suppose this will mean another low count in my Garden Birdwatch on Sunday, a pity as most of the likely species had returned in the last few days.


Trying to hold a heavy prime lens up in the hope that this Sparrowhawk would fly somewhere I could get a flight photo. It worked this time just before my arms would have given up




I wonder just how many Sparrowhawks I'm seeing, they are all sizes and plumage patterns




This bird knows I'm watching from my kitchen




Clearly showing the long middle talon
