Description

This was one of the smaller hawks. I am not 100% sure, but perhaps a Cooper's Hawk. It landed briefly on this tree top. I had just enough time to take 2-3 quick shots of it, before it flew. Once again 300mm was not enough for this smallish bird, which was about 60-70 (may be even 100) feet away. Taken around sunset time, so light was also fading.

If anyone can identify it, please let me know.

This one is from same day as this one:

Looks a bit like a Merlin to me, not sure if you get them around you?
