29th December : Sparrowhawk.... again.

The young male Sparrowhawk which I first photographed in the garden on the 30th November has been visiting regularly seen then, often taking a quick bath in the pond. Today presumably after visiting the pond it spent twenty five minutes sat on top of the garden arch doing a spot of preening, but mostly with it's wing and tail spread wide in a drying position.
