Male Sparrowhawk with prey
Another Male Sparrowhawk this time on the floor below the plucking post.The hide is already on this years plucking post he is only coming once or twice a day as the female is on eggs and he fetches for her it can only get better. Probably spent 70 Hours in the hide last year at this site.

One of those images you just have to put the hours in, to get in the wild.

It'd be nice to see it on a perch for me. Don't get me wrong it's a superb shot and you should be very proud as I would be, it's just a personal thing I guess.
