Accipiter nisus

[GREENGRASS]

Whilst waiting for GSW to come into my set up this afternoon. I thought its very Q...

I began to make a coffee and what should come and land on my brand new perch positioned about 10ft away.

Yes a female Sparrowhawk, oh what a nice surprise indeed, pity the light was poor.

Agree with Steven's post above....... for birds bright sunny conditions are not necessarily the best. Shadows can be a problem.
