Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) and Sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus). I was filming a bathing female Common Redstart from a hide and heard the male's alarm call nearby. The female remained sitting very still. Suddenly, a Eurasian Sparrowhawk tried to catch a bird, missed it, and flew into the net in front of the window of my hide. Filmed in Holten, the Netherlands.
