I know theres one around me somewhere when getting out of the car one morning spotted it sitting on the garden fence of next door.
Plus i have seen it flying over a few times..even passing through my garden ..Ive quite a lot of bird freeding stations which do attract lots of the smaller birds...Blue Tits Great Tits and a small flock of sparrows so im guessing that he's hanging around to see what he can pick up for lunch sometime ...

I think that wild canon & wildcat are right. This morning looking out the window watching the rabbits we saw a 'bomb burst' from the feeding station as some birds flew up over the roof they were chased by a sparrowhawk. All we saw was the underneath of his belly. Sightings are getting more common which shows that the sparrowhawks are thriving.

Now that my feeding stations are finally getting some use, I am wondering if I will start to see the US equivalents.

If I do start to see the Cooper's Hawks and Sharp-shinned Hawks, I will have a front row seat, as the one feeder is only ten feet away from me.
