Sparrowhawk

Taking the dog for a walk by the riverpool - a treat for her as whilst it is so quiet at Limefitt she gets to go off the lead and splash around in the water - I spotted what I think was a sparrowhawk flying slowly along the fence that runs by the path. It was a medium sized hawk anyway.

What was interesting was the way it's body seemed to be perfectly still as it glided down the fence line, only its head moved from side to side. It's unusual to get so close to a hawk like that.
