I'm envious Doug, sort of shot I would want to take. Never had the luck to catch one of these in a shot but had two fly by attacks on birds on the feeders.

Once again it was down to pure luck Maurice, he was gone in the blink of an eye after just two shot attempts.

What a BEAUTY!!! You got a wonderful picture of this bird, a totally magnificent raptor!

It's similar to our Sharp-Shinned and Cooper's Hawks!

Thanks so much for your kind comment and links Janet. I guess they have the same feeding habits so have evolved to look similar.

A terrific sparrowhawk portrait in fascinating color harmony, Doug!
Have a great week and stay well!

4 years ago.

Doug Shepherd ^club has replied to * ઇଓ * ^club

Thanks so much for your kind comment. By happy coincidence stubble in the field had been sprayed prior to the ploughing of the field for the next crop. This has resulted in the tones you see behind the bird.

Enjoy your day, Doug

* ઇଓ * ^club has replied to Doug Shepherd ^club

You mean it was sprayed with herbicides and/or insecticides?

Doug Shepherd ^club has replied to * ઇଓ * ^club

It was probably a herbicide only.

Yes, they are beautiful but I dread seeing one in the garden. You have taken a superb picture and the backdrop is superb!

Have a good Tuesday,

Many thanks for your kind comment Rosa. I guess raptors have to eat, all part of nature's rich tapestry I suppose.
