I would say the top one /the header ..was a definite Goshawk..but the cropped one face forward looks like a Sparrowhawk with orange wash ...just goes to show what a bit of cropping and colour enhancement can do...interesting
The large gaps in the primaries drew my attention to the picture originally. I don't know if the primaries vary between Goshawk and Sparrowhawk. Either way it's kept us busy for an hour or so on a poor day! Tks again. Going to have a can of Guiness now to celebrate....(or commiserate)!! John
