A few days away on the Dorset Coast in our Camper van. The best spot of the holiday was Female Sparrowhawk. This bird had caught another bird, probably a Starling. It had landed in a bush to eat it, but the Starling escaped into the bush. She was unhappy and spent a few minutes trying to find it before flying off. Sparrowhawks are small birds of prey; they are fairly common in the UK. Adapted for hunting birds in confined spaces such as woodlands or gardens. Adult Male Sparrowhawks have a bluish-grey back and wings and rusty-brown stripes on their chest and belly. Females have brown backs and wings and brown stripes underneath. Sparrowhawks have bright yellow eyes, yellow legs and feet. The Female is larger than Males (as with all birds of prey).

Fantastic photos! I use to see sparrwohawks in my garden in winter, lookig for the birds visting the bird tables, and throwing itself into the bushes for them, but I was never able to see this in details. Great!

This must have been a bush she had used before as there was many feathers of pigeons in the base of it. It was a very lucky spot .
