' Silent but deadly ' -Male Sparrowhawk

            Its been amazing to watch this Sparrowhawk as he silently flies low to the ground at speed and then swoops up through the bushes to try and catch a small bird around my woodland feeders.He has more unsuccessful attempts than successful ones .Here he has paused on this old fence after a failed strike.
taken in Devon.
