Sparrowhawk, and probably a male one too, though the lighting makes it hard to tell.
Blaaahhhdy sparrrrahh hawk maaaaate
Yep, Sparrowhawk… well known for not making decisions…
That’s a beaver.
Technically I think he’s standing on your fence
I misread that as face…
Looks like a Harrier. Possibly a Montegue Harrier because of the spring plumage.

Dunno but he looks angry!
Sparrowhawk, they sometimes hunt in gardens, especially if there are juvenile birds nearby. Source: had one in our garden last year
Would love to have here in my deck
There’s one of these that lives near me. It decapitated a collared dove on my roof. The head rolled down the roof and landed outside the back door and there were feathers gently floating down into the garden. There was a pile of feathers on the roof but no sign of the rest!
Looks angry..
As others have said, it’s a Sparrowhawk.
We have one in the garden and watching it delicately pluck the feathers from the breast of a freshly killed wood pigeon before eating it was one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in the garden.

Yes, a sparrow hawk
Sparrowhawks always look so alarmed, it’s the yellow eyes. “Shit, I’ve been turned into a bird!”
Looks really annoyed with you
It’s a Buzzard
Sparrow Hawks. And a beautiful at that.
It’s undecided
Proud as by the looks of it
