Good shots of the hawk Eric.
The 500mm certainly performs very well.

I was sitting in the armchair looking out at the subzero icy garden and the myriad of blackbirds, starling, pigeons and doves feeding off the items we had scattered on the lawn. This dove was waiting for its turn....

My attention turned to the blackbird at the base of the bird table. I believe I am right in saying it's an immigrant from Netherlands (predominantly black beak and much more sooty looking than UK male blackbirds).....

He was quite static and I wondered if he was either frozen or unwell. However he suddenly disappeared from the viewfinder and as I looked up from the camera, a return visitor landed on the top of the birdhouse.... the lady from a few days ago......

She was also surprised that the blackbird had gone.....

I might sit in the armchair again tomorrow and see what else comes by. 

Seems like you comfy chair is also a good hide.
I think that it is better than venturing out into Covid world that is cold and grey.

BTW: My near neighbours have chickens and they tell me that DEFRA have instituted a 'pen and cover your chickens' program because of worries about bird flu.
