I'm not entirely convinced it is a Sparrowhawk. @Liam.m thoughts?

I'm not sure either, leaning towards Goshawk though. @Kenp12 do you have more pictures?

I was also thinking Goshawk, but it would be good to get more pictures if there are any.

Thanks for the extra photos, I think that’s enough evidence to confirm Goshawk
