Sparrow Hawk with Sparrow

Early breakfast for the local Sparrow Hawk

This was the sight that greeted me this morning at just after 7.30. A dull overcast morning with very poor light but as the camera was' at the ready' for a twitch to record a Semi Palmated Plover reported on Hayling Island I wasted no time. It was poor....f5.6 at1/125 with ISO 6400! Coupled with the fact it was through a dirty double glazed window it was not that bad...quite bad but a record! The House Sparrow didn't think much of it either and just as the numbers are building up again....shame!

Out on the Spit a single Wheatear and 3 Chiffchaff....a few Gannets off shore, Brents still coming in, in small parties plus a few Med Gulls.

ps...Never got to Hayling so dipped out there!
