Eurasian Sparrowhawk behaviour question

I accidentally spooked a Sparrowhawk from its prey of a pigeon. The pigeon is dead, and the sparrowhawk has not returned. My question is two fold; Is it likely that the bird will return for it, and if not, should I remove the body (I live in a small town in Ireland)?

Thanks
