I uploaded this image a couple of years ago as a Sparrowhawk but a friend says it's a Goshawk. Can somebody please confirm what kind of bird it is.

I had to crawl on my stomach around & under shrubs to the bottom of the garden to get these shots, but unfortunatley a few thin branches were in the way!

If you can please view large +F11.

Whatever, the focus on the head behind the blurry grasses is stunning!

A well-taken set, Brian. Good wildlife photography. Looks like a female Sparrowhawk.
