Sparrow Hawk in my backyard

Had the pleasure to be face to face with a female Sparrow Hawk just outside our house a couple of days ago. She hunted down a Fieldfare and started to pluck it clean. Got some shot and a short video before she was tired of my company

Here are some of the pictures

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
