Could somebody please tell me if this is a Peregrine or a Hobby. It is not a very good pic and that is for sure !
Thank you.

Thank you.

It's a pretty good pic. Pity you can't see the breast or leg area. Did you notice if the breast was streaked -vertical lines- or barred- horizontal lines?

as a guess I'd say Hobby.

When was it taken? Hobbies are all gone South by now.

Hi

It´s a hobby, I´m sure. You can see the beggining of the vertical stripes, and this "double moustache".

It was taken on the 7th November last year.

That has got to be a Hobby, the overall shape just seems too slight for Peregrine, especially the wing? It is still possible for them to be around in Britain early November, I'm sure.

An obvious Hobby, and anything is possible...

Hi, this ia a Hobby alright.Although it is a very late date for a UK record, there was one at Spurn,E.Yorks, on the 5th November and there are a scattering of records for south coast sites for November over the last few years( which I assume are gen!)

Looking at the exif it says you processed the picture on the 7/11/09 but that the picture was taken on 28/6/08, I was wondering whether you had the time set properly in your camera?

John, I'd be very interested in details of this record for the county database. PM me if you like.

Thanks,
