While waiting to film blue tits and robins at the RSPB's bird feeding station at the Lodge, I was amazed when a sparrowhawk descended to the pool for a quick bathe. Momentarily paralysed with excitement, I quickly gathered my senses and managed to train my long lens on to the bird. To my disbelief, the bird stayed long enough for me to get several sequences. What a joy! I was also delighted that my new Manfrotto tripod and head managed to keep the shots acceptably steady. It's a pity that I couldn't reposition the camera to remove the intruding small tree trunk on the left of the frame - who says videographers are never happy!
