Spotted this red-tailed hawk in a tree in our garden!

(Unless it’s a red-shouldered hawk?)

@simon Nice, we have numerous hawks in our neighborhood as well. I think its a red-shouldered hawk.

@simon Ooh thats a great pic. Do you have an SLR with a nice lens for that kind of shot?

Simon Willison

@nick Canon DSLR with a 100-400mm lens - which I mostly use for pelicans but it works on other birds too!

@simon That's tempting. We've got a very noisy pair of Eurasian Hobbys hanging out in our local green space and I'd really love to get a proper picture. It's so special to catch birds of prey out and about.

@nick this lens has been such a great investment, I pretty much use that for wildlife and my regular iPhone for anything wider than that, then I don’t need to switch lenses
