The Sparrowhawk
Credit
: Geoffrey Garcel - CEN 74
Description
Like a bolt of lightning, a silvery silhouette threaded its way silently between the branches, accompanied by the shrieks of tits and kinglets... What luck! You've just spotted a sparrowhawk!
This small, daytime bird of prey is common but very secretive. It is the terror of passerines, an order that comprises most songbirds. The sparrowhawk is their executioner!
It is a predator that plays on the element of surprise by flying as close to the ground as possible or hiding behind obstacles to surprise its prey.
