Wow, beautiful footage!! The sparrowhawk is super cool, and I had the chance to photograph it only once.

Very nice footage and congratulations on finding them which usually is the hardest part. They look fairly similar to Copper Hawks here in the US.

[@DennisJacobsenWildlife]

Thanks :) and yes you are right, i got really lucky here finding them!

up to at least 60 mph in a level flight burst is reasonable max, given even starlings cruise at 50mph. but i think sparrowhawks can go much faster using gravity. they often stoop like a peregrine, so speeds of 150 mph could be achieved at times. they are much lighter so cannot go as fast. normally, a hunting hawk will be cruising on a stealthy glide about 30mph. where hawks excel is acceleration off the mark. 0-30 mph in less than a second? like leopards, they can sort of teleport. ive seen a sparrowhawk accelerate instantly upwards from a standstill like a jack in the box to ambush an incoming starling. something a peregrine cannot do

[@Alpa6c]

Similar to a Cooper’s Hawk.

[@DennisJacobsenWildlife]

Yes i see they are close in looks :)
