EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by wildlife photographer Mike Powles, we witness the exhilarating moment when an adult male Eurasian Sparrowhawk decides to take a break from his busy hunting schedule and indulge in a refreshing bath. This majestic raptor, known for its predatory prowess, surprises us with its playful side as it gracefully plunges into the crystal-clear waters of an oak woodland pool. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Norfolk's enchanting East Anglian region during a chilly December day, this charming scene showcases nature at its finest. The sparrowhawk's vibrant plumage glistens under the winter sun as he joyfully splashes around, creating tiny waves that reflect the surrounding forest. As our feathered friend revels in this rare moment of relaxation, one can't help but wonder about the secret life of these magnificent creatures hidden within our woodlands. With their keen eyesight and agile flight skills, they are true masters of their domain. So next time you find yourself strolling through Britain's northern woodlands or exploring Norfolk's breathtaking landscapes, keep your eyes peeled for these elusive avian acrobats. Who knows? You might just catch them taking another dip or witness their thrilling hunt unfold before your very eyes!
