Sparrowhawk Attack on Grey Wagtail (Failed)

I was just trying out my new Sony HX9v trying to get footage of Grey Wagtails flying up to catch flies when this Sparrowhawk swooped on the Grey Wagtail. The Grey Wagtail ducked and dived into the water at the last second. I've added a slowed down version because the speed of it all is incredible. The speed of the attack, but especially how fast the Grey Wagtail reacted and how quickly the Sparrowhawk could turn after it missed.
