Yesterday morning, I was at my woodland hide. I have been feeding there for the last month. I have two sparrowhawk coming. It`s a job to stop them.
I have place, Post, Branch everywhere.
Yesterday I was lucky.
One male came twice.

A bit of a crop, but I like this backlit picture…..
When the sparrowhawk happened to land within 6 metres of you.
Trust me when I say this: you stop breathing and you DO NOT MOVE!!
This one was in front of me for twenty minutes.
Last Saturday, I was at my woodland hide. Plenty of birds in the area. Again the sparrowhawk came three time but this time the young bird landed on one of my perch. I had two lens out a 500mm and a 300mm. You cannot move when that bird is five metres in front of you. The bird stayed for 25 minutes and was chassed away by the adult bird. Beautiful
I got carried away and took about 500 pictures! 🙂

I was out an about very early this morning. I came across this superb young sparrowhawk while driving around. I took several picture of that little raptor. Cracking bird. I was with that special bird for more than 15 minutes .
I thing that it is a young male, probably this years bird…
I am going back in that area this evening…maybe more surprises….
