    Unexpected close encounter

    An unexpected close encounter with this obliging male Sparrowhawk resulted in some photos I am rather pleased with.

    Photographed with OM-1 and 150-400. The zoom came in handy to achieve various compositions.

    Thanks for watching,
    Tord

    Just a beautiful set. I must try to get down lower as you're really making it work to dramatic effect.

            Getting nice photos of perched birds can be as challenging as pictures of birds in flight.

              Beautiful shots with lovely colours. The water and low level viewpoint add another element to them.

                  Yes a really lovely set to browse through. As you said they dont always have to be flying to look spectacular.

                    Very nice shots, I love the low angle it worked well.
