Description

Out For Lunch

OK twitchers, what have I captured here? I think it is a sparrowhawk , but would be pleased for any confirmation. Taken from the slopes of Newlands Corner looking to the south.

Nicely caught Vince. Not sure what it is but it certainly ain't a Kite (Cos I can't see the string!!)

Very nice capture Vince, don't have a clue what it is, well I know it's a bird, but that's as far as I can say.

Nice pic Vince, it's a Kestrel. Used to see them all the time hovering alongside the M5 motorway. Did start to question whether it's a male sparrowhawk but had it confirmed as a Kestrel on another site. Cheers. Sue H would know but haven't seen her around. Hope she's ok.
