Still trying to decide if this is a Goshawk or Sparrowhawk. Although it had just started snowing when the bird appeared outside my window, the feathers on the head are white.

Forgot to sharpen it, sorry.

Taken through my office window. Didn't have time to change camera settings so the houses across the village are a bit distracting in the background... still, I could sort that if I wasn't so lazy this morning.

Thanks for looking, P, X

Fantastic shot Patricia,lovely detail and presentation........Grin

Super capture!

I'm going to guess Sparrowhawk, just because the beak looks a little small for a Gossie but its very difficult to tell for definite. Excellent shot by the way, especially through glass.

Good capture Patricia.

David

Thank you all so very-very much.
Will get to catch you all up eventually, running disgracefully slow at the moment, driving me mad actually.

I don't know what is it but I like it - Good composition - it looks good in ''natural sharpness'' for me - good details and excellent b/g - well done

Daniel
