this is another long distance shot and not as sharp as i would like.
i think it's a sparrowhawk.
its wings were fluttering like mad but it was hovering perfectly still, if that makes sense.

birds of prey are fantastic - their skill and power takes your breath away.
moments later, it was swooping down like a dart having no doubt spotted a critter far below using its laser sharp eyesight.

i've noticed also that even the bossy bully crows steer clear.
they've obviously got some sense.

just looking at pictures like this gives me a lift and i hope it does the same for you too.

 sparrowhawk?
