Very cool! A little tight in the frame but great capture.

Yeah, a bit more room above and a little less on the right would have been nice. Nice capture of this feeding juvenile Sparrowhawk.... any idea what the prey was?

You are fortunate to have a sighting like this outside your house. I like the evidence of his kill on his beak, and I feel a vertical comp would work much better here.

Thanks for your replys!
Dr.Pranay Rao Juvvadi When I spotted the hawk he hadn't eaten so much of his prey so I could see that it was a pigeon probably a Common Pigeon.
I done the image vertical and it end up pretty well thanks again!
