More Sparrowhawk Pictures

We think this is an adult male who followed a small bird into the garage, then couldn't get out. Harry next door came to his rescue and held him while I rushed for the camera! We are kicking ourselves that we didn't take a small video clip too. He was extremely calm and just looked at us with that piercing gaze without trying to struggle or bite.

    Breathtaking shots. In my wildest dreams, I couldn't imagine handling that majestic bird. Can't believe he didn't even try to bite.

      hi Corrie,
      Harrry had gloves on at first but then slipped them off. He is braver than Brenda and me!

    You have moved like an arrow to my most popular post! Thanks for the visit I hope you will return! What I have found gratifying as I have learnt about blogging is how people use the archive and old posts do not die!
