Sparrowhawk Attack (Warning A Bit Gruesome)

[SLRUser]

First successful attack I have witnessed. Not fantastic photos I suppose due to poor lighting, but the best I have got so far. At least this poor little House Sparrow didn't suffer.

​

I just love their eyes. Any C&C is welcomed, especially regarding DOF, should it be narrower or not?

Grass isn't quite as green as in someone else's Sprawk photos

You were lucky to get these. Most of the birds of pray are so wary and shy

Lovely shots, i think it is only humans are able to be gruesome; nature just is!

Thanks for sharing what is a rare sight, as said above they are usually so wary
