27 April, seen arriving alone over the sea from the southwest, ca.17.50.
nos. 1 - 5 I think all of one individual.
(nos. 1,2,3 taken within seconds of each other; nos. 4, 5 taken 50 seconds later; the only other raptor I was aware of in this period was a pale Booted Eagle)
Could this be a Lanner falcon? slim, longwinged, with light-coloured thighs, greybrown uppers? A hint of moustache just visible in no.4.
Does no.5 show a tail too long for Lanner? Perhaps nos.4 & 5 show another individual?
Once again, I am sorry for poor quality photos.
