| | | Re: Bird of Prey id please Any approximate idea of size? I'd say hobby or peregrine, but someone else will probably give you a better answer! |

| | | Re: Bird of Prey id please Not an easy shot to tell from. The head looks more gull-like than raptor-like although the wing shape is about right for a peregrine.

| | | Re: Bird of Prey id please I'm pretty sure it's a Peregrine, The broad wings and chest and the fairly short tail are a giveaway, also the barred breast rather than the streaked breast of a Hobby.
Nice one to have over the garden, well done!
