The Sparrowhawk flies in again and catches a Goldfinch and disappears over the fence, I didn’t get the shot as I was working on my laptop.

I have decided to switch over from my Canon 500m lens to my Canon 300m f4 lens in order to get all the bird in the frame. It’s not as sharp as the 500m lens but it will be good enough. I should have kept the Canon 400m 5.6 lens, which would have been ideal for the job but I sold it to a friend of mine as I didn’t use it much.

I have a suspicion that the Sparrowhawk is across the road in a small wood watching the comings and goings of the birds at my feeding station and when the number of birds at the feeding station increases it makes its run. It’s had several attempts today with only one success.

With the window open and the screen in place all I have to do it wait (famous last words) all the birds have disappeared at the moment that could mean the Sparrowhawk is around.

Still waiting
