Don't worry, seen it already on t'other place. 
:razz:
I would say though, you might want to find somewhere to send this as it's an outstanding shot showing behaviour in birds we don't often get to see (like going to the bar to get the drinks in
)
Wildlife and twitcher magazines would probably rip your arms off!

Well captured.
To me it looks like a female, the males tend to take smaller prey upto the size
of a blackbird.
Males usually have a rosey pink tone on their breast feathers and cheeks.
I caught one on video in my garden a couple of years ago, its a great
experience watching this happen.

You don't get those chances too often. A few years ago I heard an awful screeching from the back garden, looked out and saw a young Sparrow Hawk on the lawn with a vole, being mobbed by a load of magpies, who despite making a lot of noise, were keeping a respectable distance.
I sprinted for the camera grabbed it, swopped lenses and got back just in time to see him fly off.

Fantastic! What a great shot - albeit gruesome but then this is what they do and to capture a moment is rare - what an experience to have that land in your back yard eh! 
Ooooh would have made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end if it kept looking at me while it was feasting! Wow!
