Observation details
Interesting bird. I first spotted it come in from the other side of the road and called to the others. We first thought sparrowhawk but Honza's photos suggested shikra, but we were not convinced. Luckily the bird stayed and circled a few more times and we got better pictures to confirm. Long tail, fine underwing streaking typical of sparrowhawk, flight jizz also rather different from shikra.
