On 5th September I was able to photograph migrating Sparrowhawks at close range. Because of the wind the birds passed low above the meadows. Sitting between some rocks they approached me sometimes as close as 2 meters! All pictures were taken with a Canon EOS-1D Mark II with a Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS USM lens.
