Sparrowhawk

I spent some time in the bird hide at RHS Wisley today, ever hopeful of seeing the kingfisher.  The bird feeder was doing a roaring trade with the blue tips and occasional chaffinch when there was a sudden disturbance with squawks and fluttering of wings, and this bird appeared.  Another visitor thought it was a sparrowhawk, which was confirmed later by google.  

So no kingfisher, but having not seen a sparrowhawk in the wild before, this was the next best thing!
