Killer in the back garden

You don't often get the chance to see Mother Nature close up and in the raw in your back garden but I did tonight, and luckily I had the camera at hand. I don't think I'll win any prizes for my photographic skills but considering the pictures were taken through the patio door glass they've come out not too bad. The hawk, a Sparrow Hawk I think, suddenly dived across the window with a young sparrow in its claws,landed and then proceeded to tear its prey to pieces! I took about a dozen pictures and the short video clip, not all of the pictures were very clear.
