Regular visitors to our garden, but they rarely come close enough to get decent BIF (birds in flight) captures. Last year our neighbor (who is a farmer) turned his field which attracted significantly more hawks. Originally I thought it was because there would be more available prey (as in mice). I was partly right – in fact a large part of their diet, it turns out, is worms.

This is actually a highly cropped image. More from this series, including the worms, are here.
