We saw this bird being attacked by our resident female Sparrowhawk yesterday. The action was fairly close to the window but the angle wasn't the best for ID. Obviously the bird was much larger than the Sparrowhawk but it may have looked larger than it was because it was close. The most likely candidate at this time of year would be a juvenile Hen Harrier, and that's what I think it is but other species of harrier have also been seen in our part of Sweden recently. There are 5 primaries clearly visible.
