Sparrowhawk

A young Sparrowhawk which decided to have a rest in the Feeding Station at Big Waters.
It just sat there for just under 2hrs in the morning and about an hour in the afternoon.



Took a few short videos of it during the afternoon rest with
this one showing it taking off - it did return about 2 mins later
and stayed for another 15mins.

Took my time picking the pics from the 200+ I took, probably more actually as I deleted a lot at the Feeding Station as the light got better. The top one was when the light was better early pm and the bottom one was early morning as you can probably tell when the light was bloody awful. Only cropped them with 1 click of sharpness. The video was also just taken after the top one.
