Sparrowhawk.......

[Black Sheep]

After getting back from Middlewood went out to unload the car and found this beauty on the front lawn. Managed to get my camera out of the car with out spooking it and took this........

It looks like a female SH and it had just taken a Collared Dove and was in the process of plucking it, after a while it flew off carry the remains with it. All that was left was feathers and one leg/foot.

That's a great shot Richard - very envious of your "close encounter"

Thats awesome bud, the only time I got that close to a SH is when I went to Kielder birds of prey centre. NICE
