I was sitting in the kitchen eating lunch and watching the bird feeders as I usually do. I was particularly pleased because the siskin had reappeared and the long-tailed tits are now making regular appearances. Then, there was an almighty kerfuffle - big bang on the window and birds scattering everywhere.
I grabbed the camera and spotted the culprit, but I knew I did not have much time before he flew off. So, I just snapped a couple of shots with no idea what my camera settings currently were.
Lo and behold I got the best sparrowhawk shot that I have ever managed!
Here he is sitting on my garden chair....

PS: He did not manage to get any of my little ones on this occasion!
