Sparrowhawk feasting on a pigeon on the edge of Castle Park in Bangor, close to Bloomfield Road. A fairly common occurrence, I have seen similar frequently in the area - though this was the first time I remembered to bring a camera. See also https://youtu.be/4dT1luqTT0U for a video performance. (I got a much better picture a few weeks later - see Image)
