Feathers in fields, esp this time of year tend to be pheasants around here......that'd be my guess.

Look a bit like Kestrel to me, but not sure.

Don’t think so. We have loads of pheasants and dare I say I have plucked a brace or two. This wing of feathers is quite different to both cock and hen pheasant plumage. Friend suggested a type of owl

Thankyou I’ll have a good look at references for that. We do sometimes see Kestrels around here

Happy to go with kestrel as I am really not good with feathers, and as I say, most tend to be pheasants around here. Whatever it was, it was dead sadly. Hopefully not mistaken for a pheasant when it was alive.
