Sparrowhawk

These magnificent pictures come from local resident Les Humphreys who writes....

"This is our resident sparrowhawk looking rather smug having just taken another of our collared doves on the lawn."

Many thanks, Les, for the pictures.

    I think it is a mature male but could be wrong.The female has learnt to flush the birds on the feeder in front of an open window into the study,following them in she regularly catches one inside, then flies out with it in her talons.
