Sparrowhawk-163

I had been doing some photography from a portable hide in the garden when I decided to go in for some lunch. Within 5 minutes of me going in I saw this bird from the kitchen window. At this point my camera was still in the middle of the lawn ! Twenty minutes later the bird was still there so I resigned myself to going out and disturbing it. Despite this I managed to creep up to the hide, unzip it, get in and then fire off a hundred shots or so while the bird sat there preening itself. I still cant believe I got away with it.
