Sparrowhawk!

Not a bird you would expect to see in a semi suburban garden! I think it must be a Hen Harrier - can anyone confirm? I'm no expert..
A snatched shot from about 40 feet which does not do justice to the lens.

Not a Hen Harrier but a Sparrowhawk.

snatched maybe, but still worth taking, better to have the proof than just talking about it.

All true and or interesting above AND the yellow in the eye plays with the yellowed lower left background beautifully. Sharp and well seen, captured -- Tg
