Just read this thread, very funny, I cant belive there is even a debate about this! :laugh: Like many have said, ITS A FEMALE SPARROWHAWK lol even male and female sparrowhawks look totally different, there is NO confusion here what-so-ever. Thanks for sharing the pictures John Gallway it has made entertaining reading for me!

 

No probs Am glad ya enjoyed it. It was great seeing one of these birds up close and personal after seeing them in action for so long around the area.

Im lucky to have seen many up close, beautiful birds that always captivate me with their cold stare, and purposeful nature.

its tiny its a sparrow no doubts about it a male ... you want to be careful who sees pictures like this mate the wrong people could stumble on it !

its a trans gendered female to male badger hawk goose (i think)

[OldTrapCollector 377]

I honestly cannot understand how some so-called countrymen are still getting this wrong ...

 

The male sparrowhawk is slate grey with a reddish barred chest - the female sparrowhawk is dark brown with dark barred chest.

 

The bird under discussion is quite plainly dark brown and so therefore cannot possibly be a male sparrowhawk, irrespective of perceived size according to this, that and the other.
