Just flew over my head, I thought 'pigeon' but to my surprise it was a Sparrowhawk. Had a second to react and got my first ever photo of one

@JudahBenHur@lemm.ee yeah, it was clipped onto my backpack strap. Using a Mirrorless camera with a 600mm lens attached.

That's some lightning autofocus and stabilisation for a 600mm, looks like a patiently awaited tripod shot!

@Coldcell@sh.itjust.works thanks.. It's a reasonable result. Shame the sky is so boring.
I once brought a tripod, I've used it once at a wedding 😂

@JimsPhotos@ohai.social we had a brown goshawk bring down a pigeon and eat it in the back yard recently. Adelaide South Australia.

@JimsPhotos@ohai.social Amazing bird and photo! Sparrowhawk is the name (or one of the names) of my favorite character from Ursula K. Le Guin’s books.😊
