If I understand correctly the long middle toe indicates a Collared Sparrowhawk? Kind regards, Roy.

Roy, you are correct about the middle toe. Also in flight a square tail. Chris

Spoke with Luke about this one, we both think it looks better for goshawk, although the long toe is normally indicative of sparrowhawk
