Caught Out - a photo on Flickriver

Caught Out

            This image was captured back in October whilst heading out to capture a sunset along the Cornish coast.

With my camera setup to (hopefully) capture a sunset and pack in camera bag, I made my way down the path.

On my right something caught my attention. I looked over and perched on one of the hay bales was a Sparrow Hawk, appearing relaxed.

With my main camera set with the wrong lens for wildlife and not wanting to disturb whilst I slowly took the camera out, my only chose was the phone. I manged to capture a few images before it flew towards where I was positioned. Never did get that sunset in the end but a positive encounter overall.
