Juvenile Collared Sparrowhawks, no doubt of the same family often reported there recently. Id is based on toe shape & length and head & beak shape.

There were (at least) 3 hawks around the upper tracks at ANBG this morning, and I got snaps of two different birds. I would be grateful if any member could identify them - whether Sparrowhawks or Goshawks (or one of each) - from the pictures below ... and if so, indicate what were the definitive features determining such decision.
