Sparrowhawk (Spurvehøg / Accipiter nisus)

Sparrowhawk (Spurvehøg / Accipiter nisus) sitting on a sunbed in my backyard.
The sun was shining only 2 minutes before this photo was taken, but unfortunately a heavy fogbank came sneaking in from the sea
just as the hawk landed, so the feather details disappeared.
