Hi Julian,
Sorry to burst a bubble but just on this photo, unless there is something very odd about the shading, I would give this a 99.99% on being an adult Brown Goshawk, which is common here. Grey Goshawks are very pale, almost white below with almost see-through wings. This bird shows the red and brown of a Brown Goshawk. Tail shape excludes it from id of a sparrowhawk.
