[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
Frightening hunter of bird, the sparrowhawk of Europe is a diurnal raptor of the wooded areas. Short, broad, round wings and long tail. Long yellow legs. Song: The Sparrowhawk of Europe glapit, piaille, pulls about. The sparrowhawk is rather quiet. It pushes back the intruders by very insistent cries. Habitat: The sparrowhawk of Europe lives wood, the forests and the thickets, even close to the dwellings. Sometimes one meets it in the large parks. Behaviors: One sees it flying over the skirts of forest of a flight characterized by fast beats of wings, intersected with short gliding flights in arc of circle. It very often flies with a slightly undulating trajectory close to the ground to surprise its preys. Mode: It nourishes primarily birds until the size of the geai.

lovely shot, is this an unablievably lucky shot of a wild bird or one rasied in captivity?

There are 1 or 2 'spots' that I think I would have cloned out just to aid the photo - but the detail is good alothough DOF could have been a little deeper to ge tthe wing in focus.

Très belle photo, netteté de la tête impeccable ainsi que la profondeur de champs. Que vouloir de mieux.

Bonjour Jean-Louis,
C'est une photo très bien cadrée avec des couleurs superbes.
J'aime l'oeil perçant de ce rapace.
Malheureusement, la netteté est uniquement obtenue pour l'oeil et c'est bien dommage. Mais peut-être que c'est volontaire ?
Bravo tout de même.
Amicalement,
Michaël

Un beau point de vue pour un bon sujet.
Il faut travailler le Post Processing pour améliorer la qualité (c'est l'avantage du numérique ...)
J'ai fait un WS, jette un oeil!
Laurent
