overpowering

just noticed something swoop in and all the little birds fled from the feeder.
This was the culprit.....some bird of prey I think but not sure what and this was as close as I could get!
He didn't stay long and not welcome back!!!

Well done for getting a shot - sparrowhawk or peregrine? I has one briefly on my feeder and thought I was hallucinating!

I think sparrowhawk too. I have seen one once in our garden too. Boy did the sparrows scarper. Good catch.
