Dundee Birding....(target 150 in 2024).
Going through old photos I rediscovered photos of a falcon that I eventually decided (at the time) must just have been a rather oddly shaped Peregrine, but which has bothered me any time I've seen the photo since. My blog-post for the day says that the bird was thought to be a Kestrel (and was very slim looking) before it was photographed. The first photo in particular looks very long winged and the tail is surely too narrow for a Peregrine - though in later photos the wings look quite wide at the base - which I think is why I decided it must be a Peregrine (and basis of probability).
So, is it a juvenile Hobby?
None of the photos are particularly good, but I have included the really bad ones too for completeness. Unfortunately I have deleted the RAW files so can't make them any better.
