It appeared over some large bushes, swooped across the lawn and disappeared into or over some more bushes about 80 yards later.
At first I thought it was a hawk, it was flying quite fast with a powerful wingbeat, the wings seemed smallish and were dark on the upper side, when raised the wings formed a steep V not unlike the character V. Then as it crossed the lawn I thought of Jeff's Owl, the body didn't look like an Owl but it could have had a flat face like the pictures Jeff has posted, even if I had had my camera with me there would have been absolutely no chance of photographing it, the whole thing was over in a couple of seconds.
I will be spending some time in this garden so I will try to have camera ready, but if it repeats the same manoeuvre I will have zero chance of getting a pic.
