Oh yes, I'll bet you'll be seeing her again. Having a sparrowhawk around indicates a healthy bird population. No particular time when they are likely to be seen. But do watch out for sudden movements around shrubbery/trees etc, they are very very agile fliers, and can appear to suddenly stop in mid flight and do a 180degree turn in mid air!

Here is a link to a pic in the gallery. This was taken a couple of years ago, and it is of the female sparrowhawk making a kill and eating it - a collared dove.
