Some of my colleagues working on a vessel offshore are divided on the id of the attached birds of prey, so your help would be appreciated.
The vessel is working 50 miles east of Aberdeen. The first shows a bird on the helideck, the second, taken from below shows one bird on the helideck and another on the guard rail on the left. The quality is not that good as they were taken with the ships camera through a beat up pair of binos, digiscoping at its basic. Consensus of opinion is divided between Kestrel and Merlin.
