Sparrowhawk, Goosander

Didn't have a walk this morning due to weather and pressure of work; things brightened up slightly by afternoon so had a quick trip round at lunch, but didn't see very much.  The pair of Oystercatchers were on the jetty with a selection of gulls, three Goosander were on the reserve, and as I got further round towards the gate, a Sparrowhawk went over, having a tussle with a Carrion Crow.  My camera was on the wrong setting and wouldn't focus, so by the time I got it ready, they were already moving away and I only snatched a couple of quick shots.
