    This was dazed for a few minutes after hitting a window in Glasnevin about two weeks ago. PM me and I can connect you with the guy whose house it was but who knows where the bird is now.

    Am I right in suspecting female sparrowhawk? (as opposed to goshawk)

    Yep, it's a female Sparrowhawk. If it's legally owned it should have a closed ring or a microchip.....

    Notoriously hard hawk to use in falconry apparently. Hope however it's is a legally owned bird and is found and returned

    Would an escaped hawk like that know how to survive?

    A Sparrowhawk will have no problem, even with the bell attached. Jesses will rot away in time.....

    Might be worth a post in the hunting forum too!

    Could be worthwhile checking with Trevor at the Dublin falconry centre (based in Luttrelstown castle). If it's not his he might have an idea of whose it is.
