Dinner time!!!!
#1

I live in the town centre, between the two main streets, about 20 yards from the main road. This was taken, in our large yard car park, about 10 yards from the main road, surrounded by buildings.
The sparrow hawk had captured the pigeon, and was eating it; apparently the back on the neck is the best part. After taking several pictures, I was getting closer to it, eventually about 4/5 feet, not bothering it at all.
Then I thought if it’s not worrying about me, should I be worrying about it! Retreated a fair bit, and used the zoom lens.
It was eventually chased off by a car back firing, (Gunshot)? Leaving the pigeon still alive (humanely killed).
The hawk lives/lived in a church steeple a few hundred yards away. Ed.

Nature photography meets city photography, I guess. Nice capture!
