Return of the sparrowhawk

I have seen this bird in the garden over the past week or two but this was the first time I have seen him sitting on the "sparrowhawk" perch.  It was early morning, dark and wet and the photos were taken through a rain-streaked window.



It is another juvenile male, the third bird in three winters to stake out the feeder in the kitchen garden.  The first one was an adult male who arrived in early January 2017 and stayed on and off until March that year.  Last winter a juvenile male arrived in early December 2017 and again stayed around until March this year.  I am hoping this one will stick around for a while.  If he does, expect more photos.
