The default answer for a bird of prey in the garden would be a sparrow hawk, but this one does appear to have some funny markings. A juvenile maybe?
Thanks for any insight!
It's certainly a strange one James...just bumping you back up to see if we can get you an experts eye over it ;-)
Looks more Kestrel than sprawk to me but I ain't an expert :-(
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
