Birds of Prey - The Sparrowhawk

First seen on Saturday 15th October 2022 at Holy Island

This isn't a very good photo, but the Sparrowhawk doesn't always pose for its photo like some birds. It was flying over the fields, not far fro the Crooked Lonnen. The female is all over brown, with bright yellow eyes. The male is more blue/grey in colour with a pale pink streaked front. His eyes are a deeper yellow. This one is probably a female or a juvenile.
