Even sparrowhawks get bored
Being an ambush hunter involves a lot of sitting around waiting for something to happen. I have seen him do this a couple of times. I know sparrowhawks cough up pellets (like owls and kingfishers do) but nothing appeared and I haven't found any pellets below his perch. This happened during his stretching and preening routine so I think he was just yawning. In the second photo his third eyelid is covering his eye as a reflex response.
