Observation details
First mistaken for a merlin, but both Merlin and Obsidentify say it is a Eurasian sparrowhawk. A small raptor, seen and photographed while perched on a willow trunk, but only from behind. A juvenile. A grayish brown bird, with a long, banded tail and a small head with a small bill. On the photos it spreads its wings, which have rounded tips. Not a country tick, but still a photo lifer.
