A hawk in the gardens

It is good to always be observant and looking around when going for a walk, take these shots, for example, I was heading out into the gardens to get some shots of Roses, but was also observant of things going on around me and noticed a lady up on the upper level leaning over to get some photos and I looked to see what she was taking photos of.

This is a post for #featheredfriday hosted by @keithboone, and I believe being run at the moment by @melinda010100.
I know its a day early but going with it today anyway LOL

As you can see in the first shot it was a Hawk sitting on a Lamp in the gardens, Here is a closer in shot of the Hawk, which Someoen told ie is most likely a Red Tailed Hawk.

I was lucky to see it when I got back up to my office after taking these shots I told a colleague who went down to see it and by the time he got downstairs, it was gone.
I think it may have flown through a storm or something as it was looking a little rough when I first saw it which you may notice a little in the previous shot, and it was focusing on preening itself up as it is in this next shot
