Following on from the ring ouzel, another good bird. Driving along Acremore Street ~(Bury Green to Little Hadham war memorial, I witnessed a merlin. It appeared from an oak and flew low to the ground in front of the car for 100 yards before banking over a hedge.
The flight pattern of flap and glide plus the fact that it stayed very low gave me the impression of merlin over male sparrowhawk. The earliest merlin for Hadham.
