Male Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)

The male Sparrowhawk was in a fir tree behind the birdhouse so I took a few shots, first with the balcony door closed and then with it open. It was open here. A square composition for a change.
We have a lot of Whooper Swans in the area at the moment so I had some fun photographing them today.
