White Sparrowhawk Returns

Back again and very noisy here’s our white sparrowhawk - unusual colour for an ambush predator! He may even be a Dad now - there are certainly chicks such as the one here where you can see a bit of remaining fluff from the downy feathers. The white we think is probably Leucism which can make for brittle feathers - but he seems fine. He actually perched on the windowsill of one of my neighbours a few weeks ago so its good to confirm see did see him and not a ghost :)
