There's something very encapsulating about those piercing yellow eyes. Scary.

Sparrowhawks
Last weekend at Fishers Green in the Lea Valley, a Sparrowhawk silently glided past my Dad and I. No sooner had I picked up what it was that was going past me that it was gone and out of sight. Unfortunately, most of my Sparrowhawk sightings follow this same trend of spotting them and then they're gone. Just after Christmas though, I was lucky enough to get up close and personal with one, from a hide owned by Charlie Owen. It gave me the best views I've had of a Sparrowhawk and some good shots too. Here are a few of them.

Birds eyes, especially raptors, fascinate me! Yes, this one looks like he could see right through you. And rather makes you glad I would think, that he isn't bigger than you are! Birds Ey
ReplyDeleteTried to figure out without your text - and yes, I guess Miss City Slicker seen enough hawks in the area where we now live one year, to see the difference between hawks and eagles! Great captures!
