Well the female sparrowhawk is still now and then around and we get occasional visits from the male but the most frequent visitor to our garden is now a young sparrowhawk!! Here he is:
He's not a very competent hunter yet but he's getting there. I feel quite sorry for all 'my' little birds with a whole family of sp'hawks eyeing them up for lunch!!

Eileen, he is one handsome baby. You must feel lucky to have him pick your yard to hang out in.

That youngster looks so majestic, even in it's downy fluff.
Wonderful photos, Eileen.

Glad I'm a human/gnome and not a little birdie. That guy would scare the life out of me. Thanks for posting the pics Eils  :
