About "Sparrowhawk with catch"

by Jan van der Knaap

About the artwork

A sparrowhawk stands in the garden with one paw on a caught dead prey. I don't normally see sparrows in the garden, and I had to look closely to see what this was a bird. Because of the curved beak and the plumage, we were able to trace and eventually came up with a sparrowhawk.
Sparrowhawks belong to the family of hawks. They are birds of prey. They are about the size of a pigeon. Males are a bit smaller than females. They mainly hunt sparrows, tits, finches, and starlings. Females are a bit larger and can also catch a turkey turtle. The sparrowhawk hunts from cover, or with a sudden, swift flight in passing.
They can be recognised by their curved bill, yellow eyes, striped breast feathers and yellow legs. Sparrows are found throughout Europe, except in Iceland, northern Scandinavia and northern Russia.
Dot specimen I believe is a male. He had just caught prey, but I could not distinguish whether it was a sparrow or a tit. He was already picking it partly on the ground, then he took the prey to a birdhouse in the garden where on the roof he continued picking the prey, tearing it apart and working it inside.
