| | | Bird identification help please
Hello, I’m hoping someone could help solve this mystery bird of prey that landed in my garden today. I wouldn’t say I’m a bird spotter, just like to keep an eye on the regular visitors and this one didn’t fall into that category!
I’ve looked up on the web but can’t decide what it is. Can anyone help me identify this bird please. I took a few quick photo’s but they're not too clear as bird was a fair distance away.
Many thanks in advance.   |

I agree, and I am also envious as I have only ever had one stop by my garden once. They have attacked my feeders a few times but usually when I am out (tell tale signs of feathers all over the place).
