Danger!

Lovely shot! Raptors are so interesting.

Great shot Gee :)

Yes it ia a sparrowhawk. I have also been lucky enough in the past to get pictures of these on my next door neighbours roof but not as clear as yours. Well done Gee.

Beautiful photo of a beautiful bird. Love the lichen on the roof too!

What a brilliant photo well done Gee ... I have seen one holding down a pigeon in my garden , it would have killed it if I hadn,t frightened it off .. ...

He is beautiful - pity he has the killing instinct, but he can't help it, lol.

Agree...a beautiful bird,but lethal in the garden.We have one which patrols this area..only the other day found a pile of what looked like female blackbird feathers near the compost heap : (

Gee ,fantastic pic..I'l bet there was not another bird to be seen..

Oh it is Gee.....amazing bird...we had one fly into the shed last year...wonderful to see it close up...that's a good shot.

Yes, I'm pretty sure this is a Sparrowhawk. I've spotted one a few times in our garden. But the firsdt time we were aware of him was when a collared dove crashed into our window as it was trying to get away. It frightened the life out of us! It's great to see them though because, afterall tht's how nature works. Great photo.

Brilliant photo Gee...........

We have buzzards visiting too, took a pic today of one high in a willow tree quite close to where I feed the birds and a crow was stalking it - I know they are dangerous to the little birds, but how awful that they are hounded by crows all the time, guess they know how dangerous they are .

Great shot Gee. What a powerful looking creature. Raptors are all a class of their own. Glad it moved on.

I can't help having respect for these birds even though they cause havoc.

Fantastic photo Gee. Well done.

Great photo Gee.....

well done , great photo

Great shot of a male Sparrowhawk. Top of the food chain and handsome with it. ;~))

Thank you, MW, haven't seen him since but he has all of Romney Marsh to hunt in :)

lovely photo -
