Peregrine?
This flew over my head as I was concentrating on climbing a mountain on Aegina, Greece. I reckon peregrine - having checked out the excellent index here - but would like a second opinion. Cheers in advance, D

Sorry about the angle - the only shot I have! I find raptors tricky...
The shot was taken at about 9.30am so orange sidelight may be deceptive, too.

Dave,
Like Graham, tough angle but I also see a Kestrel, though I cannot rule out Lesser Kestrel. The breast markings look more like clean spots rather than heavier more streaked markings, the pointy central tail and underwing pattern. Either way, it's not a Peregrine, sorry Mark |

No problem: thanks for the help. I'll go with Kestrel, then.
