Aragorn and his Hawk!

[WrathofSauron]

Just thought you might like to see my Aragorn charging the Black Gates with not an Eagle but a giant Sparrowhawk on his arm!!!! This is not my pet hawk but a wild bird which flew by accident into my house today and where does it decide to perch???? Amazing and traumatizing all at once!!

Thanks for the comments guys yep it was an amazing opportunity I mean what are the chances of that happening? I happen to be an avid birdwatcher so this was an even bigger thrill to have this in my home, it didn't do any damage thankfully and more to the point it didnt hurt itself, well not that I could see. It landed on my LSB ringwraith first with outstretched arm which was cool but I couldn't get to the camera in time as it kept swooping and if you've ever gone to a hawk/falconry and had these beauties on your arm they have incredibly sharp talons!! I have of course named him Gwahir even though he is a sparrowhawk not an eagle and he is a regular terror to my garden for sparrows (which is awesome to see him catch them in mid air!!)
Anyway I almost peed myself when it landed on Aragorn!!!
Another pic of him!

Awesome pic! I have one of those hawks around my house. He watches my bird feeders all the time. He usually goes for mourning doves more than sparrows though.
