Hi,
I was not successful taking pictures of this bird. They are either blurry or overexposed. The only one that is more or less focused shows only the rear part of the bird. Nevertheless, I think it's an Accipiter but can we determine whether it is a Sparrowhawk or a Goshawk?

Longish, sharp- cornered tail suggest Sparrowhawk to me.
