This landed in front of me about an hour ago.
I think it's a sparrowhawk or maybe a goshawk? 
Many Thanks |

That's great - thanks for the quick replies.
I saw it land and managed to get three shots before it flew away |

Great photo!  I originally said Goshawk because of its size but then quickly changed my mind when I saw all the other replies. Unlucky its not a goshawk I'd love to see one | | |
