| |  Sparrowhawk Mobbing....
Hi All,
Out for a pleasant walk, taking a couple of pictures of a Robin, tried sneaking closer and all "hell" broke loose. Squawk squawk squawk - I looked around and caught a glimpse of a bird of prey diving behind a bush. When it came back out it was apparent that it was a Sparrowhawk on the hunt, and was being mobbed by Swallows & Meadow pipits. Managed to get a few shots....it all happened so fast  .
Enjoy

Excellent sequence of behaviour shots; particularly like the one with the Swallow. | | |
