This is a quick grab-shot. ie I grabbed the camera off the dining table, pointed it out the kitchen window without worrying about the composition, and hoped that this raptor wouldn’t suddenly disappear. It seemed to be interested in something in the grass – a lizard perhaps. I can’t work out what it is – the whitish (or very light brown) feathers, the yellow eye, and the light patch below the eye don’t match with anything I can think off. It could just be an immature version of something that I should know well.

Yeah. Hard to pick. Maybe a young(ish) Collared Sparrowhawk or Brown Goshawk?
