Hi Sophie and welcome to Birdforum. Although the photo is blurred (no offence!) your bird looks to be a Raven which is a species that is quite common here in the Alps.

Even though it doesn't look much like how I think of them, I think it's a goshawk.

I agree; doesn't have the bulk a raven, tail looks too long for a raven and just seems gives the impression of a large accipter.

Time for nurse to bring my Horlicks I think Yes, it probably is either Sparrowhawk or Goshawk, I just saw a black blur on my screen!

Thank you all for your replies!! I’ve attached another clearer but more distant photo (they were taken on my iPhone) if this helps

Fully agree with Butty
