The European sparrowhawk digesting his latest meal!



Accipiter nisus male – Accipitridae – Accipitriformes – He remained at 3 meters from me for exactly 22 minutes, calculated on the timing from the first pic to the last!

Il s’est écoulé 22 minutesentre la première et la dernière photo de cet épisode où il est resté là!!Il digérait tranquillement son dernier repas… il n’as pas encore effacé les traces de son “crime”, visibles au coin droit de son bec!
