Sparrowhawk with prey

Sparrowhawk with prey
Spotted in the garden this morning, obviously just captured the pigeon.
As I moved to get a better shot it picked up the bird and flew to a different part of the garden and demolished its prey, leaving me to dispose of the carcass and multiple feathers.
A case of nature at work rarely seen.

Unusual to get such a close view of this.

Was there when it captured it! Left to get my camera and came back very slowly and took pictures. It moved to its new location when I tried to get a better angle. I then left and went and got my 70/300mm lens for the other shot(s)

I got a similar shot some years ago when it had a Robin in its claw. It is on here somewhere I think, do a search for Sparrowhawk and you will find two more of my shots

Hi Greg
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition
Some years back I made some photos of one in my garden with something... But I don't remember where they are now!
Best Wishes, a good weekend, and stay safe!!
