Just seen a largish bird on garden gate and few feet away. I thought it was a wood pigeon, but queried my thought and got the bins out. Studied my bird books and I think it was a Sparrowhawk. ( The other choice could be a juvenile cuckoo, but the head and eye wasn't right) Very beautiful. then it flew away in the direction of were the sparrows are nesting in the eaves. I wonder …….
