Eurasian Sparrowhawk. Although relatively common, one of my favourite European raptors. Particularly smart males like this one, taken in Scottish woodland.

Beautiful bird, beautiful image, and wonderful bokeh. They don't come better than this.
Well done, Sir.

Thanks Koos, sometimes the conditions are just right. Very little post on this image either.

Awesome capture! with such a simplicity in the composition, we focus instantly on the animal's beauty.
