Wow! Superb photos, well done. How lucky you are to have such a beauty in you garden - and so close! How long was the visit?

Hahahaha@ the cat pelting in through the catflap!! ;D

jolly good photo,the sad thing is that cute little bird tends to eat its prey while its still alive,not a pretty sight

This is a sparrowhawk, and 'victim' just beneath my bird table in November 2005. Again not a brilliant photo as I was having to peer from behind the dining room curtains to avoid being seen.
