I did not know I had taken this photo! I took a photo of the sparrow hawk sitting on the fence. Decided to change the setting on the camera and adjust my position. looked up and the sparrow hawk had gone - lots of swearing on my part! Looked at the images on my camera later and could not believe my eyes, I must had accidently pressed the shutter while moving and by sheer fluke the camera had got the sparrow hawk flying off. I came across this photo again while sorting my photos.

Bet if you had tried to capture it leaving, the photo wouldn't have worked. Dave
