Rather than comment on that other thread and get myself banned i thought i would post this.
I could post many more of this most beautiful bird but i think i've made my point.
edit..anyone else want to post theirs feel free.

AWwww!! Doggie,
It certainly is a beauty
Well said Doggie.

Beautiful shots sparrow :)
Is there generally less males, or am i just missing them every time? only ever seen one, but seen females quite a few times
Lovely photos of a very enigmatic bird. Thank you everyone. :-))
Best wishes Chris

Hawky, juvenile Sprawks of both sexes retain a female-like brown plumage through winter, so colourful adult males do seem to be in the minority compared to the brown 'females' but some of the latter may well be young males :)
I have never taken a photo of a Sparrowhawk 'on the deck', though this will hopefully change if/when we move somewhere with a garden :) I can offer a couple of flight pics - a female:
and a male:

Oh Aiki, they are even more beautiful in the air - wonderful.
I really hope mine comes back while the camera's out. Great pics everyone.

Further to what I was on about with plumage and age - this one of doggie's looks like a juvenile male to me. Definitely a juvenile because of the quite bright brown tones and the streaky breast, and male because it looks quite little and slight, much less burly than the adult female Galatas posted.
