A Sparrowhawk sitting on an old outdoor chair, less than 6 feet (2 metres) away from the bird feeders, trying to blend in with the fence and patiently waiting for any small bird to visit.
I take a few photos, Mick, and then make sure it sees me which soon makes it choose somewhere else. All the small birds were hiding in complete silence.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
wonderful images John!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil. It helps when they sit so close to the kitchen.
DeleteThat's a brilliant visitor. The downside is it's will be the only visitor.
ReplyDeleteIt was a treat, Adrian, to see it so close. As you say, at the time it was the only visitor.
DeleteCracking shots John.
ReplyDeleteA lovely bird.
Thank you Keith.
DeleteIt's a majestic looking bird - but if it were in my backyard looking for "my" little birds I might be tempted to shoo it away!

DeleteLovely shots John.
ReplyDeleteThank you Paul.
DeleteThey are some nice shots John, like the last one where he has fixed you with his steely glare!

Thank you John. That gaze can be very unnerving.
