Sparrow Hawk vs. Pigeon

A sparrow hawk feasting on a pigeon in Kensington, London. The music is Days of the New, Cling.

It’s a bit shaky but I was carrying bags and getting rained on at the time, and was trying not to move. Compensated a little by the in camera anti-shake and then further by Final Cut Pro’s smooth cam (which turns a laptop into a convection heater for a half hour on footage).
