At the moment, I see many photos being posted of the Sparrowhawk Owl, which is currently present in the Netherlands as a vagrant.
13 years ago, there was also a Sparrowhawk Owl in the Netherlands.
Back then, I was able to take a number of photos of the owl late in the afternoon.

Owls and Hawks are my favorite animals of all time
Raptors really grab our attention, don’t they? 😜
How about vultures?
Whenever I see þese guys, I always þink of:
It’s like a hawk dressed up as an owl for Halloween.
Northern Hawk owl is tired of your shenanigans. Haha
They always make me think of Joe Pesci. Little tough guys that mean business.
Unexpectedly descriptive name. Very rare situation.
So true.
I’m not familiar with the actual Eurasian Sparrowhawk, but it does look pretty similar to the female.
