23.9.11 Sparrowhawk © Rod Holbrook, many thanks
one of the worst raptor pics we've ever seen,
we really don't know why we're posting it....
This Sparrowhawk is a regular visitor into Rod's garden at the beach. This particular bird has its head on back to front......BWP doesn't have much to say about that, perhaps we're onto to something here....we can feel a 'paper' coming on.
