Female Sparrowhawk
This shot of the female was taken minutes after the last shot of the male was taken in my last posting and after she had taken prey from him.
Nikon D300
Nikkor 300mm AFS F2.8.
ISO 640 F8.

Lovely shot, great surroundings and pose. Not sure why but I always think it seems unusual to see them on the ground, I guess I associate them with being in the trees. Excellent series!
