Sparrowhawk
by Unicorn1
A male sparrowhawk, very rare to see in our built up area. Taken through my back door glass, so not very sharp - just looked out the window and he was there -having just chased a sparrow into a nearby bush.

Thanks all,
I did open the door for a clearer view, but he flew away! The traumatised sparrow was still in our honeysuckle bush two hours later!

I think the focus problem has more to do with DoF rather than actual focus.....the top of the fence is sharp as is the eye.....shot @F8 it would have been a cracker!......well done and hard lines Leslie!.........Ken
