Identify a bird please

[BobsPigeon]

Can anyone settle an argument as to whether this is a kestrel or a sparrow hawk?
Thanks

Sparrow hawk.

(I think) Nice looking bird but brutal when you see them catch their breakfast

That's a female sparrowhawk.

Often see one having lunch at our bird feeder. No messing straight in and away with its prey.

This landed in our yard this morning and it’s really big. Any ideas what this is please? It has webbed feet so assume a duck but it’s massive

I’d say that’s either a Cormorant or a Shag.

Thanks. We think it’s a cormorant having done a bit more research
