Male Sparrowhawk
At his plucking post this male had 3 posts he used they normaly within 25yds of the nest I just love finding the plucking post this is the 13th in as many years. You never know what they will come in with.I think this could be a young Bullfinch.

Everything has come together nicely for this one. Pose, perch, prey and background. Great details too. I'm envious.

Nice and as said great NH photography... looks a tad bright on my calibrated system plus just a shade more sharpening to make it pop....
