    Could be a young Kestrel The eyes are like those of the kes' and th colour of the head. The beak looks like that of a youngster.
    I could be completely wrong of course.

    Sadly not in the wild Rolf.It was taken at Sion Hall.Apart from the garden birds I take,I find it easier to learn the tricks of photographing birds at those places espesially when they are in flight

    Unfortunately there can be hybrids at these centres, that one may be a Harris Hawk, just been looking at the pictures.

    The Harris Hawk is native to Central America and extends through to Canada, will put this thread into the non-indiginous section DD.

    PS. Have seen them being flown at the Hawk centre in Warwickshire, striking birds.
