I saw this in my garden whillst doing my birdwatich
Sparrowhawk with a wood pigeon.
Thanks, are they common I've never seen one before?
Reasonably. With the buzzard and kestrel they are the commonest birds of prey. However, they are usually quite secretive, so are most often seen sitting on top of prey in gardens - just like your bird.
Feral pigeon surely? - white rump and no wing bars 0:55
Yes, you are right. Can make out the face marking early on too.
