Long legs, yup.
I saw one catch a starling in our garden, then it opened its wings in a fan to maybe hide its kill?

We had a sparrow hawk plucking a wood pigeon in our garden, it was plucking what we thought was a dead pigeon, until the sparrow hawk got distracted and suddenly the pigeon managed to escape.
The wood pigeon kept visiting our garden with his bald patch - we called him plucky

I don't like to see them suffer, and I've got a cat and 2 dogs so I couldn't keep it anywhere safe

I once saw a Sprawk chasing a Pigeon of the Woody variety around a birdfeeder at a nature reserve, the Pidge trying to lose Sprawky by flying in and out of trees and through areas with humans, but they did a few loops as everyone stood and watched.
Then the Pidge decided to enact Plan B... which was to land on the big wire cage around the feeder and grip tight, hoping Sprawk would fly past... which it did... clutching talons of feathers as Pidge sat, gripping tight, looking VERY shaken and slightly shorn.
It was all very Wile E Coyote
