User's notes

Walked into yard to be confronted with a raucous noise which turned out to be the dying sounds of what looked like a Common Starling, which was in the clutches of this hawk and which the hawk proceeded to devour!

Guessed Collared Sparrowhawk from the size, it was quite slender and smallish.
