Had a fantastic encounter with this female sprawk in my garden yesterday. After thinking I'd blown it by just walking out the door to be confronted with her subduing a pigeon, I backed up veeery slowly and grabbed the camera.



I took over 400 shots in the end! Was a little dark in the area she had caught the pigeon but am very happy with the way some of the shots came out and had a chance to try lots of different settings.
