Sparrow hawk at pool in quarry. Bit noisy but not very good light, and quite a way off.
Can't wait for the Spring and things to dry up a bit.(If it ever does)

Another cracker John. Hes got a bit of a look of Marmite about him. You don't think there has been some hanky panky going on do you? Might explain some of Marmite's peculiar traits
