Thanks; I'm fortunate to see Sparrowhawks regularly in the garden, but I won't risk opening the door for pictures. Sparrowhawks aren't easily frightened off their meal, but I won't risk disturbing them just for a picture. After all, it might have taken hours just to get into a position from which to launch the attack, and I doubt more than 1 in 20 attacks are successful.

Chris
