Sharp-Shinned Hawk at Overpeck Park

Sharp.

This morning I woke up to find a Sharp-Shinned Hawk in the tree right outside our kitchen window. I had my camera handy since know the cranes are migrating, so I was THRILLED to get a photo of this stunning bird. It didn't give me much time to set up or to take more than three shots before it left. I just didn't have time to dial it in perfectly… but I'll take it!

The south end, with its ugly palisade fence, is the least attractive aspect of Conisbrough Cricket Club's St Peter's Drive ground.

Captured during a third-versus-first Division One promotion battle with Conisbrough's Yorkshire Cricket Southern Premier League rivals, Oughtibridge War Memorial, who went on to win, by three wickets, to maintain a six-point advantage. The top two go up.
