Had a Sparrowhawk in the Garden earlier this evening, having a go at a Pigeon. Quite dark, so didn't get many keepers, but here's a few of what I did get...
Got to within about 5 or 6 feet of it before it flew off with its lunch.

EOS 20D with an EF 70-300IS. Settings were ISO 200, f5.6 and 1/30th sec, or thereabouts. Thanks for the info makes the shot's even more inpresive from a zoom and such a slow shutter speed - very well done . "The LensMaster Gimbal"
