Today we had a rare guest in our small little garden: A wild sparrowhawk explored the area. We have a small little bird feeding house, well visited during the winter times when we supply food for the local birds, so the motivation for the visit was supposedly a hungry stomach. All little birds have been gone, so sadly for the young sparrowhawk our garden did not offer the feast, it hoped for.

Still, a beautiful view of a beautiful, yet fearsome, creature.

Update: The HiRes photos are now in the Garden/Animals photoalbum.
