Don't know how clear this will come out but you can see the eye of the storm in the valley and thunder is in back ground.
Now take a walk down to the dam to check its filling up with rain water.

They are bigger than last years must be doing something right for the wildlife.
They live 2-5 years in the wild, so there is a good chance it could be the same one from last year. If it feels safe will start creating many mini spikey creatures. They usually have 4-6 babies, but can be as many as 10.

Sad indeed, could be a Sprarrow Hawk but I think the legs should be more yellow.
Could also be natural, old age.

It's been mentoned a few times around that they have seen a go's hawk could be looking at Google pic.
It might have had in flight fight with another bird of pry?. Old age? Hit a power pole? They have put 2 new ones up in farmers field and laid under ground cable
. These new poles are on the other side of river to where the bird is.

Good result, I often see birds in the garden just sitting there with their wings spread out. Maybe a way of cooling down.

I must admit I don't like all the jackdaws coming into garden taking food scaring all the other birds but seeing it in the river bed and not even trying to escape I had to rescue it it squalked alot but didn't try to escape or peck at me. I moved it's wings and legs all seamed OK.

Oh no 
poor thing.
I thought you were going to say it came back for food. Looks like it came in to some problems last night.
