Hairy Moment

A hairy moment and the sad demise of one of our blue tit family kept the wolf from the door but not away from the bird table today.

I knew this female sparrowhawk was around but couldn't believe my luck when I saw her perched on the bird bath outside the back door. Grabbing the camera, it was a question of moving very slowly whilst trying to find a viewpoint through the rain soaked windows. Managing in all this to change the lens, passed surreptitiously by Hubs for a closer shot, crawl across the conservatory floor and then have in my ear, 'Oh that's the shot! That's the shot!' (no pressure there then) I did manage to take a few .....just a few .......!
