Anyone out there know which bird Thomas Hardy was referring to in, 
Afterwards, when he wrote:

If it be in the dusk when, like an eyelid's soundless blink,
   The dewfall-hawk comes crossing the shades to alight
Upon the wind-warped upland thorn, a gazer may think,
   'To him this must have been a familiar sight.'

Thanks,
