I initially though I wouldn't include this image in the blog due to it's poor quality, but it was such a memorable encounter I have decided to include.
So there I was at Pennington photographing passerines when this male Sparrow Hawk zoomed in to attempted to catch a Stock Dove, after a bit of a commotion the Stock Dove managed to escape with the hawk in hot pursuit eventually giving up and returning to perch in a tree for about five seconds. No time for composition it was just a quick grab of ten frames before it was gone.
Always difficult to photograph an unplanned encounter like this, but it's a record of this unusual event.
