I think you'll find that is a kestrel, from memory the sparrow hawk has more than one dark band on it's tail.

Well you have shocked me - never expected to see an actual picture of a bird - was 100% sure it would be some half-dressed, malnourished bimbo in some sort of 'artistic' pose! 
But yes - defo a kestrel - we have one that lives somewhere round the office - along with a buzzard & a woodpecker amongst other things!
Oh, and the lesser spotted Arkwright too!

Yep My first thought was kestrel... does no one remeber the old film Kes?
Once you start looking in the sky you will be amazed at how many you do see out there hovering especially on motorways (of course I am looking whilst my fool is driving)
So whats the new ESC fad gonna be... i could be interested in this one
