I knew there was an assassin the the garden from the feathers near our bird feeders. A few minutes ago I was sitting in this end of the garden after dinner and I just glimpsed a bird flying from a hidden ambush position near the feeders to the far end of the garden and perch for a few seconds. A quick shot with the R5/500mm at iso5000 has given an ID of the suspect - Sparrowhawk. This is a 100% crop of the bird of about 1000px long - the camera handles noise well.

At 1/800 you're OK. The picture is sharp and the focus is on the eye. Well done.

Thank You Click.
Well, I didn't do much. The eye-tracking did its thing
Actually i only saw the silhouette of the bird ~30 ft up in the tree.

I've never before seen a heron sitting that high in a tree. about 15 m.
But as I already did with some white egrets on treetops I belive it is common for herons, too.

And this mallard was just enjoying the warm sun

I love the way Nuthatches will pose beak down, like this one, though it will perch normally. (R5/100-500)

Don't have a clue, but the leaves reflecting in the water was kind of cool.

Nice shot , Goldeneye maybe can't see the neck to be sure.

I'm pretty sure you are right.
