After trying for 20 months, finally managed to get a shot of this beautiful female Sparrowhawk, usually it comes through garden causing carnage !
I was making a coffee when I looked out the window to see her posing on the branch, I took some with my phone then set my cctv camera on her, ran for my camera expecting her to be gone but when I returned she was still there (I am guessing the rain helped).
Worried I would not get any pics, I quickly fired some off through the kitchen window, once I had a couple I took a chance to go outside, set the Z7 to silent shutter (this is on my user setting U2 so nice and quick), creeped along side wall until I was at the corner, leant around and managed to fire some off.
To say I am please is a massing understatement !
Just this one here but will post more or you can click through and take a look at them on flickr where the detail seems to look better
