Hawk

Leeds tends to have the nicest weather at about 5-6pm, so Ed and I often sit in the garden with a cuppa to get some last min rays. Tonight was amazing tho, a female sparrowhawk flew down, swiped a sparrow off a feeder then sat in the garden until the sparrow died. Sad to see a cute bird become dinner, but amazing to see nature. Pleased I had taken my camera out with me!
wow, you should send it in to Springwatch. Great capture on all fronts!
