Sparrow hawk

Walking the dogs this evening I suddenly realised that there was a bird in the tree above me. It didn't fly off so I suspected there was something wrong. When it didn't react to the flash of the camera my fears were confirmed. I pulled the branch down so that I could gently grasp it. It was a juvenile sparrow hawk and very under weight. Once home the raptor foundation quickly gave me the name of some one in Sawston but it died on route, within an hour of me finding it.
