Hi Neil
It wasn't flying like a raptor, wing beats far too sedate and continuous (but I could be wrong) The call wasn't as strident as I would expect from a falcon, more a soft, liquidy kee kee.
Lee Evans has come back to me with Nutcracker but I'm very certain it wasn't one of those (although it would be nice if one was found somewhere in the area it was flying to).
