Support Superb quality, and the contextualised surroundings, while not very nice, make this image interesting and informative. Cmao20 (talk) 15:36, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support This is really great to have an eye like yours to watch, capture, and bring these wild action scenes here. Could you expand a bit the description on the file page, so that we understand better what's happening? -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sparrowhawk grabbed a pigeon and brought it to ground, killing it and eating it in front of our kitchen window. Photo taken though a closed glass door. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:53, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please, could you add date and time of the shoot in the exif. Thanks Wilfredor (talk) 15:02, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to update camera clock. Shows Australian time!. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand you, I had a similar problem in Europe, there is no easy way to do this Wilfredor (talk) 23:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Excellent action shot. There's noise on and around the bird's tail feathers; I leave it to your discretion whether to do anything about that or leave it. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:46, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, new version uploaded. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support Excellent shot! You do a great work in showcasing birdlife from around the world, but it's great to see a bit of an insight into your home area (Oxfordshire?). --SHB2000 (talk) 08:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I'm inclined to oppose due to feather arrangement. Wolverine XI 21:31, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The sparrowhawk or the pigeon, please. What are you meaning by arrangement? Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:48, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
