    Male Sparrow Hawk on my hedge.

    Sitting on my hedge waiting for the dunnocks nesting below.

    Not too bad for a hand-grab-shot through double-glazing with the much maligned 75-300mm ll,at 300.

    Approx 50% crop.

    A great shot Dave. However it's a male Sparrow hawk not a Kestrel. Just as good or possibly even better?
