Unexpected Visitor

We had an unexpected visitor yesterday.  Was sitting in the living room with the dogs all hanging out, and happened to glance up at the side window as a small bird seemed to flit past, followed immediately by a "thump", so I knew the bird had hit the window or house.

I popped up and peeked out the window to see down to the driveway and check whether it was sitting there stunned ... and what did I see but a hawk!  (I was sure glad that all the cats were inside!).

It couldn't have stunned itself too badly, however, as I immediately slipped on my shoes and got my camera on my phone ready, but by the time I got outside it had already flown away.  I was really hoping I could snap a quick picture of it ... but am glad it wasn't hurt very badly as I certainly couldn't have brought it into the house to recover!
