CommentThis bird was facing towards the photographer but decided it wanted to face the other way. In doing so, it lifted its foot in such a way that one of the critical points in differentiating Collared Sparrowhawks and Brown Goshawks - the length of the middle toe - is shown clearly.
Cross reference to ID 23659.
