Sparrowhawk

Yesterday afternoon I was out in the garden getting the rabbits in and a lone bird in the sky caught my attention, at first i thought it was a pigeon but it wasn't flying like a pigeon does, and when it swooped towards a group of starlings i knew it was the Sparrowhawk! Watched it fly untill it was out of sight, wish i had my camera at the point would have been able to identify if it was male or female.
Heres a photo of my last encounter with a Sparrowhawk.

















Other bird news: On my way home from work i walk along side a river near my house and as i was walking i caught sight a of a blue flash zim down the river, the Kingfisher is back! so i am very happy to see him even if it was a blur. I was worried that the recent building new houses by the river had driven him off, but looks like hes back :)
