Hi Wyvern
I think there might be a clue, in Grahams wording " after it had brought down a pigeon "  |

It may have been a pigeon Gaza but which type? Woody, Feral or Domestic.
I have had all three in my garden and a Sparrowhawk has managed to take a Woody and Feral one on more than one occassion. The domestic has escaped as they are not regular visitors.
