Hi, I wondered if anyone could identify this bird for me please? A bit of total beginner research leads me to think it's a female or young Sparrowhawk, but i'd love to know for sure. Working from home with a view over my back garden i've watched it take 2 crows (or Jackdaws?) in 2 days, pinning them down to the ground and finishing them off with its beak while the rest of the birds go crazy in the trees around it, occasionally dive bombing but unsuccessfully putting it off letting go of its catch.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Joe
