    The recent sparrowhawk from a different angle of view. Today was dull and grey, almost like in November. Thank god its March and we will soon have green trees with warmer weather. The broken stem is a result of heavy snowfall.

    Female Sparrowhawk with Starling. Nature at it's most brutal. She visits our garden from time to time. This day she stayed for nearly 4 hours after killing this Starling, eventually flying off with just the carcass.

    I was trying to photograph Swifts that evening, and not having much luck, when this Sparrowhawk appeared out of nowhere. They do sometimes wait for small birds going to roost at that time of day. The hawk only allowed a few shots from below before disappearing again. Thank you for your...

    A sparrowhawk attacked the birds at my current feeding place twice today, but did not succeed. Sad for the sprawk, good for the birds there.

    This sparrowhawk took a long rest in our garden today and stayed longer than an hour. So I could set up my new Kowa TSN-99 with the TN-80. Picture was taken through a double-glass door. Colour suggests a female bird.

    Accipiter species in the Netherlands--Dollard

    A horrible Accipiter image, photographed through the scope on 17.12.21 near Dollard. It flew away before better photos could be obtained. The overall impression we got from the bird was that of a Goshawk, but we're not sure at all. Striking features were the strong white supercilum and the white...
