Yesterday, the #sparrowhawk
was hunting among the struts of the harbor piers. It was probably looking for tasty swallows.
The question of the day is: Which bird is this? - Well, obviously it's a #Sparrowhawk but I mean its prey - it's already plucked and eaten quite a bit - but a distinctive yellow leg is still left - and it wasn't a small bird.
Despite various leg comparisons, I still don't have a match...
Meine erste Sperber-Dame (ich hoffe, ich liege richtig mit meiner Bestimmung)
My first female sparrowhawk (I hope I'm right about my prediction)

This lovely #male #sparrowhawk was at @RSPB #Belfast #windowonwildlife this morning.
Probably just there to see the #Avocet like I was
A female Sparrowhawk at NWT Cley Marshes on Friday.
She was perched on a post next to the boardwalk, stayed there for maybe a second or two as we rounded the corner and saw her. Just as I got my camera to my eye she was off!
Bit of a kerfuffle outside at the feeders just now ... #birdofprey #Sparrowhawk #gardenbirds #Birds #BirdPhotogaphy #nature #naturephotography #Alyth #Scotland
Another picture of the female #sparrowhawk. Here you can also see the poor sparrow better. For her meal, she then retreated deeper into the bushes.

Back on Mull for a few days with friends. Spotted this awesome predator watching from a fencepost, for targets to surprise in the blustery conditions.

A day for sitting on the fence. #Gardening #Sparrowhawk #Butterflies #Biodiversity #Nature
