Just flew over my head, I thought ‘pigeon’ but to my surprise it was a Sparrowhawk. Had a second to react and got my first ever photo of one

@[email protected] we had a brown goshawk bring down a pigeon and eat it in the back yard recently. Adelaide South Australia.
@[email protected] what a bird! Thanks for sharing…
dang thats sharp as hell for having a second to take it… was your camera around your neck? what were you shooting with?
@[email protected] yeah, it was clipped onto my backpack strap. Using a Mirrorless camera with a 600mm lens attached.
That’s some lightning autofocus and stabilisation for a 600mm, looks like a patiently awaited tripod shot!
@[email protected] thanks… It’s a reasonable result. Shame the sky is so boring.
I once brought a tripod, I’ve used it once at a wedding 😂
@[email protected] That is an amazing photo!
@[email protected] thank you
@[email protected] Amazing bird and photo! Sparrowhawk is the name (or one of the names) of my favorite character from Ursula K. Le Guin’s books.😊
