I&#39;d just poked my head out of the back door when there was an almighty flurry of bird calls from the very rear of the garden. I looked up and in the far corner (about 80 feet away) a small flock of starlings were heading helter skelter for the skies. A moment later a much larger bird popped up on to the fence and paused for a couple of moments. Just enough time to grab three quick shots, at too great a distance and with far too slow a shutter speed. Focusing through the honeysuckle didn&#39;t help too much either! So the quality is not quite up to my usual posts, but a sparrowhawk in the garden is one of those days when it&#39;s &#39;what you see&#39; not &#39;what you get&#39; that counts.<\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sparrowhawk_2303089660.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sparrowhawk_2303089661.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/sparrowhawk_2303089662_b.jpg' \/><\/span> <\/p>\n<p><i>Camera note: all shots taken with the EF70-300mm 4.5-5.6 DO IS at ISO 800 with a shutter speed of around 1\/100s.<\/i> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[990],"tags":[1154],"class_list":["post-1095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bird-of-prey","tag-sparrowhawk","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1095\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
