Hi webmonkey,
Lovely clean shots of a Sparrow Hawk I think, probably on the hunt for small birds feeding in your garden. I lost quite a few small birds round my feeders to a sparrow hawk so had to errect small dead branches artistically around the feeders to break its swoop, dosn't seem to bother me anymore. Lovely looking bird none the less.
Regards Alan. (just up the road)

Wow, these shots are outstanding. Maybe the first 2 are a bit yellow but that doesn't change the fact that you took excellent pics. Congrats! :D
