A male Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) paid a rare visit to the garden yesterday and in view of the inclement weather I had to shoot through the double glazed window while trying to control my excitement. I will be posting some more pictures on my Early Birder blog very soon. FAB.
Gorgeous shot! Very beautiful portrait of this impressive bird.
