Still kicking myself for not checking the camera and unknowingly having it set to f/10 when i picked it up and ran outside after this raptor landed in the backyard tree in perfect view. So excuse the hideous photo.
Anyway, any help with ID appreciated. Located on the central coast of NSW.
Great shot of a first year Collared Sparrowhawk.

Thanks al. I don't suspect I'll get this chance again so sincerely kicking myself for the camera mishap.
