As I've found over the years, you've just got to be in the right place at the right time.
Beautiful little Hawk, great pic.
I treated myself to a feeding station and also have a length of washing line with one nut feeder and one seed feeder hanging from it (to ward off the tree rats, squirrels) always have a couple of dozen little birds feeding which has attracted a Pair of Sparrow Hawks. The female is unbelievable. She flies in, scares everything off then hops up into the shrubs and quietly waits till the scare is over and then pounces.

. Never fails. The male is not so clever. He often zooms through hoping to catch something on the way. Typical male, no patience !
