Great post. The longer I’ve watched sparrowhawks in Freehold, nearly 30 years, the more convinced I am they have two hunting strategies. One is a daytime dive bomber from height, over 1000 feet up with a stoop and the other is a low level tour in low light or crepuscular conditions. The sparrowhawk is easily the latest hawk or falcon hunting in my experience around us. Sometimes in near dark. Unfortunate swift. with the other record at Leighton and the weather, do we put these as pallid swift or just swift spp which seems safer…
