I lived outdoors in the woods the winter before last (it was chilly but amazing!) and the local sparrowhawk would swoop past now and then at high speed - I had about 5 feeders/tables and lots of visitors. It would flatten itself out so it was just a 'line in the air' as it approached, but still had that amazing turning speed. It's great to hear about your 'sprawk'.
