Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) Male on Garden Fence

Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) male on our garden fence.
He perched there for about 20 minutes, long enough to get quite a few shots but the light was fading fast and it was beginning to rain.
Photo taken through dirty double-glazed window in Darfield, Barnsley, South Yorkshire in early October.

Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
