I had this cracking encounter with a Sparrowhawk this morning thanks to a call from my son to let me know he'd just seen one sitting on a Woodpigeon in Clays Lane. I got to the bird five minutes later and it was still sat on the pigeon and continued to enjoy its breakfast until a guy came out of his home and spooked it.
Great shots though the mottled dark grey wings look as though the prey was a Feral Pigeon rather than a Wood Pigeon.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I thought it was a Feral pigeon but the head in the last but one pic looked more like a Woodpigeon with that white neck collar
ReplyDeleteUnas fotos espectaculares, enhorabuena Brian. Saludos desde el norte de España.
