Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus) male with long barred tail blue grey upperparts barred reddish brown underparts yellow eyes and legs grey hooked bill
This sparrowhawk visited my garden and I first noticed him sat on the fence behind a small tree with feeders. There are two images with the fence panels taken through double glazing from inside the house. A single image taken from outside in the garden through the branches of the tree showing him with piercing yellow eyes. The bird then flew off into a nearby tree as seen in two final images.
