We are at the time of the year where observable sparrowhawk activity reaches its low point. They are most likely to still be around but it’s just that their shy nature makes sightings exceptionally rare. However there is much to look forward to in the new year as the sparrohawks begin thier courtship for the ensuing nesting season and you may catch glimpses of their aerobatic displays.
In the meantime I have seen some great photos of sparrowhawks that have been posted on Twitter which I thought I thought I would share with you:
