Garden Visitor

While making a coffee in the Kitchen, I saw a flurry of activity and something largish and grey shoot up and land on top of the conifers, I knew it wasn't a pigeon, so grabbed the camera and ran upstairs, I managed to get one usable shot before it descended inside the trees.

There was then some activity inside the trees before it burst out again and shot away, flying towards our nearby small wood, with a poor House Sparrow gripped firmly in its talons. I was so amazed I didn't even get a photo as it flew away!
