One of the local sparrowhawks [Accipiter nisus] made another kill in my garden on Thursday.
I managed to get quite close to her this time and fire off some photos. As usual, however, the sparrowhawk had taken its kill (a male blackbird) into a gloomy corner, and I was shooting into the sun, so severe photo enhancements (and cropping) were the order of the day.
Still, at least it wasn't snowing this time.

“…wonderfully droll, witty and entertaining… At their best Carter’s moorland walks and his meandering intellectual talk are part of a single, deeply coherent enterprise: a restless inquiry into the meaning of place and the nature of self.”
