Predator

Looking back through my files at photos taken over the last few years, I came upon a series of shots of a sparrowhawk, taken at Potteric Carr nature reserve. I remember scrambling for my camera as the bird landed under a tree, searching for prey which had vanished into the bushes. The sun was setting on a February day, backlighting the bird and creating lovely lights among the shadows
