Not being the bird in flight pro...or even close...I am not the guy to ask, but it looks to me like you got lucky as I did a while back at one of our lakes here..There is a summer ahead so I am going to try...keep on pushing me with shots like these and I'll get something! Thanks Joey..

Hi Joe,

How lucky can you be to get this Sparrowhawk for the first time almost accidentally. I'm not sure if I have seen this one before. Not only did you get a good shot of him but you caught him with his wings positioned so well. I love striped markings.

Hello Joe,

The Sparrowhawk in full flight this is spectacular.
Open wings with a very lovely structure of the feathers.
Very well captured and nice presentation.

Best regards,
John.

Hi Joe,
Great catch, good you could take advantage of the opportunity and come away with at least this hand-held capture. I like the comp & POV here. Not the best quality, but very good work on such short notice ;}
Well done,
Howard

Hello Joe looks great, with some nice detail and excellent fast flying pose. I haven't got a single shot yet myself, still in hope, we have some at Stockers. Despite the difficult light I thought you did very well. Look forward to next trek meeting you were missed, tfs rgds Necip.

Joey, this is wonderful! I have never seen this bird before, and hope to see it some day. Very lice angle and the birds eye is wide open. Thanks again Joey! Cheers Josh Lewis.

Hi Joe,
Although the capture is a point and shoot one it has been well captured. Anyway there are some noises and that is because of the UE one I suppose. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Joe
Congratulations on this Sparrowhawk inflight capture.
The details are very good indeed..I have been watching and following Sparrowhawks for months and have only got one decent shot..but its not an inflight!!
Top work and Im afraid I cant help with the ID..It would be great to find out what it was though.
I hope we can all meet up again soon.

Hello Joe,
Very clever to catch the Sparrowhawk in flight - when I see one it seems to fly past lika a flash of lightning! Good focus on the eye and sharp details. Beautiful patterns and colours too.
Many thanks, Ulla

Hello Joe,
Firsts are always special and this being an inflight makes it doubley special. Not the sharpest image for you but the action and colrs captured are super, thanks for sharing Joe.
