Sparrowhawk, the Streatham side of the Triangle.
After the torrential down pour overnight, I didn't expect to see much, though a young Sparrowhawk hanging out with the Jays was curious. And one bush, on the edge of the triangle near the stump, had a tit flock (Blue and Great) of 30-35 birds pass through it in a couple of minutes while 3 Song thrushes sat idly by. A Blackcap and Chiff were also in the same bush as two Nuthatches called overhead.
I am assuming the Sparrowhawk to be young and one of the fledglings from one of the two nests on the common. I have yet to confirm a successful brood with Peter but seeing Sparrowhawks so low in new areas leads me to this conclusion. Probably another came very low across the pond and into the trees near the tennis courts.
Otherwise...
