Hi Guys, walking in the park the other day when I spotted this chap in the trees, can anyone tell me what it is please? My first thought was Sparrowhawk but not so now I have looked at my pics.

Thanks Lou, I am well pleased with that as its the first one I have seen, really chuffed, was worth a walk in the park.
