    UK Bird of Prey help

    Red Kites I've followed ever since they were re-introduced. See them daily. Great news then about Peregrines, now I'm seeing them, still can't believe it.

    UK Bird of Prey help

    I don't know what's happening. I am from England, from this area, but been living in Canada. I am back for a while, so have time to go Birdwatching. Either before I wasn't Bird Watching properly before with eyes closed, or Birds of Prey have made a MASSIVE comeback. Today we went to Upton...

    Thanks all! Good news is that I'm seeing far more Birds of Prey than in the past. Hopefully it's to do with numbers increasing.

    It was very high, had to use a zoom lens. That's why so dark. Unless anyone disagrees, that is a Peregrine.

I actually thought, wow, 2 Peregrines, but must be Merlin's as they couldn't be that. Then questioned if a Hobby (which is ruled out)...

    That was the light Colour, but when over head, it was more like a Male... very confusing I know. My Friend said Olive, and then mentioned Blue, and looking at pictures she said the Male. I saw all the detail. Pretty much a Peregrine looking, so if a Merlin can look like a small Peregrine in...

    I know the Birds of Prey in this area, so if I rule out a Hobby, either Peregrine or Merlin. When it flew over my head, I said out loud, 2 Merlin's, knowing the location and what I could rule out. I actually thought they looked like 2 Peregrines, but knowing they chances of this is VERY low...
