Description

female Sparrowhawk weiblicher Sperber I'm not sure is whether it's a sparrowhawk. In all of the photos I've found on the Internet, no one is in the process, the white feathers on the wings. There are some bird of prey expert on RR. I will surely improve if necessary. I saw this beautiful bird of prey by chance on the reed in the pond.. It was difficult to take a picture because he has eaten a bird and has not kept quiet. In addition, he was too far away and the light was very bad. But some of you wanted to see him - and here he is! Birds of prey are allowed to catch songbirds! Cats not!!!! wish you a wonderful day!!!!! ....many thanks for the nice remarks and favorites on my previous photos! ***************PLEASE OPEN THE FULL-SIZED IMAGE WINDOW***************

Could be a hawk or a falcon, we don't have any over here with those feather markings so I can't tell. Well, not in my pocket guide anyway. Superb capture! And thanks for showing us. :)

To me Ursula this definitely a sparrow hawk - the patches of white on top of the wings is unusual but could be reflected light. Raptors catch birds to survive, cats for fun!!

Nice shot Ursula this maybe a more rare raptor than the sparrow hawk the wings are suggestive of the Honey Buzzard

Du hast recht es ist der weibliche Sperber :-) Ich habe da so ein tolles Buch und da sieht der Raubvogel genausu aus. Der männliche Sperber hat eine rötliche Brust und der weibliche ist mit einen quer gestreiften Gefieder vrsehen(grau-weiß) auch der Schwanz. Liebe Grüße Elke
