Wow! A very fine image of this small raptor in regal pose, with the ideal head turn, showing the vivid iris and hooked bill. In some ways this resembles the male of our Eurasian Sparrowhawk, but its character is quite different. Great work JP.

Lovely shot. He appears to be much darker than the African version, even allowing for the poor light.
