Raptor - river estuary in Suffolk

Hi Karen sorry it's not a Peregrine.
It's a Kestrel.

It's a lovely shot.

I agree with Alan, it's definitely a Kestrel

This is a Peregrine Karen you can see the dark bit under the eye (teardrop) is a lot larger then the Kestrel

thanks, Alan - that makes perfect sense! Karen B Suffolk

If you want to see a Peregrine Karen Google your nearest city and you may find them nesting on a church.

Karen, you can see Pergrines on Norwich Cathedral tower, they nest there. and there is a web cam. A bit late now but they might still roost there, I've also seen them at RSPB Buckenham Marsh just SE off Norwich.

Thanks, Alan - not many cities in Suffolk, which is my main stamping ground ;-) But Norwich cathedral has them, I think... Karen B Suffolk

Thanks - I think I saw the webcam last year - lovely to see! Karen B Suffolk

Hi Karen, are you anywhere near this nest? ... www.bbc.co.uk/.../uk-england-suffolk-48966878

Hopefully they will nest again next season!
