A bird I haven't featured before on the blog but a common sight both around the parks and gardens and on the moor. In the past I have seen congregations of several hundred birds on the moors but numbers are much lower at present and they tend to been seen singley or in small groups of a dozen or so.
Not easy to photograph being all black and therefore requiring decent light, to show the feathering, as it was this morning.

Great to see some blue skies for a few days.
I was photographing a hovering Kestrel today when suddenly another bird flashed in to the viewfinder and disappeared just as quickly. I pressed the shutter and got a few photos which captured the incomer, a male Sparrowhawk, quite nicely.
