    Male Sparrowhawk? Seen today over Helensburgh, Scotland

    Plenty of pidgeons and song birds flying around undeterred by it flying above them, didn’t see it go in for a kill though was flying in circles watching below. hard to tell from picture but looks to be a male just looking for clarification on male or female or maybe its not a Sparrowhawk at all...

    Peregrine, Kestrel or Hobby? Prestwick Scotland

    24/03/2022 First thought kestrel but markings throwing me off, believe it to be a juvenile as i always struggle with those. seen chasing a starling but failed to catch due to a raven chasing it(not sure if the raven just wanted the breakfast for itself or was saving it) Thanks for any help :)
