Yes; Google lens too confirmed it to be an adult male Eurasian sparrowhawk (Accipiter nisus)
Very sharp/detailed for images through the window!

Most sparrowhawk hunts end up with the prey bird escaping. And in my experience, most hunts to find the camera and suitable lens when a bird does something interesting in the garden end up with the bird having gone before being ready to take the shot. So well caught - both the sparrowhawk and you .

Super set and well done for having a camera and lens to hand to grab these shots. Should add congratulations to your window cleaner as well
