I probably posted this at the time, but it popped up on the BBC Springwatch programme last night (via the eponymous Flickr group). Fortunately they ask permission, so I was alerted to ii :) (though I do often watch, as it happens). Male sparrowhawk.

Here's a bluetit (chickadee sp. for N American viewers :) ) - at the feeder while another comes in to join it

We were treated to a visit by a mature male sparrowhawk to our balcony as I was making supper. Fortunately I had my camera (K-3) to hand with the 70-200 attached - it was set to an unnecessarily high shutter speed ( I forgot to check in the excitement) which resulted in a higher ISO than I'd have chosen, and it had to be shot through a double glazed window, but bearing all that in mind, I'm very happy with the result.

Not the technically best ever (apart from my own shortcomings, to me, the FA^400 has never seemed as good on digital as on film?) , but I liked the character of it - a European starling trying to access a feeder not made for it (K-3 + FA^ 400/5.6)

Not a great shot, but good old thrushes are quite uncommon in England now - with a commensurate increase of snalls in our garden :( - this one was a brief visitor to out back yard, taking off as I fired off a burst on the K-3 :( :(
