Sparrowhawk

Disgruntled was in Hawkins Crescent when he say a medium sized bird dive out of a bush. The colour of a woodpigeon on top, it suddenly swooped upwards and perched on top of a house roof, next to a woodpigeon. Woodpigeons don't fly like that though, and as it stood there the reddy-brown stripes on its white chest gave it away - it was a sparrowhawk, which explains the lack of other bird noise. It only rested for five to ten seconds before flying off.
