Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)

I'm pretty confident this Sparrowhawk is a local; we see one frequently and even have one visit the garden feeders regularly. This shot followed a commotion in the trees opposite the house – two pigeons took off in a panic just before the Sparrowhawk arrived on the branches they had been using. Lucky for them and lucky for me…
