Migrants and Sparrowhawks

Thursday 31st - saw Pair swallows near Morfa Bychan from coast Path , at Tanybwlch pair Wheatears & another pair Swallows.

On another subject- over the last 40 years or so I have had about 6 incidents of Sparrowhawks low flying a few inches above the ground immediately in front of the car. The last time this occured was probably the longest as it flew for about 1/3 rd of a mile before careering off over the roadside hedge. Just wondering how frequently  this occurs with other birders /car drivers?

Not while I've been driving, but I was on a coach trip many years ago when a Sparrowhawk exhibited similar behaviour.
