The Sparrowhawk is a very common bird of prey. It is reasonably easy to identify in flight as it has a characteristic flap flap glide motion, this along with the longish tail and broad rounded wings

Typical Accipiter hawk. Adult slaty gray above and finely barred with brownish orange below. Smaller and more compact-looking than Eurasian Sparrowhawk. Soaring adults can be distinguished from Chinese Sparrowhawk by the lack of dark wingtips and striped (instead of solidly pale) underwings. In all plumages, heavily marked underwing coverts distinguish this species from Chinese Sparrowhawk. Breeds in a variety of forested hill and lowland habitats; wintering birds can also be found in more open habitats, such as forest edge and fields.
THE STRIKE !!!!! This is the moment when a young male Sparrowhawk launched itself at its prey. It had been perched for several minutes watching for a suitable target. When its eyes locked onto a bird, it would lower itself on the branch ready to strike. Most times it would abort and resume its normal perch position. This time, something triggered its brain to respond. Lowering itself onto the branch once more, those crazy wild eyes locked onto the target. In a time frame that the human eye can't react to, those long, spindly yellow legs catapulted it forward at the same time as the short broad wings come into play. In the blink of an eye, It disappeared behind the hedge but the tell-tale feathers drifting by meant it had been successful. It is claimed that a Sparrowhawk can reach maximum speed within two seconds from take-off. After witnessing this many times, I am inclined to agree.
