Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus, #6)

Another unsuccessful attempt at trapping moths last night, as the temperature dropped well below freezing, and few insects around too. There are still a few blackbirds and redwings about, roosting in next door’s holly tree, which are probably what attracted this female Sparrowhawk. It then perched up for a while to preen and enjoy the evening sunshine, before heading of again in search of supper,.
