Well, as I said, I am not sure. It's the right time of year for juveniles!

We spent a lovely yet very wet week on the Isle of Mull in november.it was so wet we only saw eagles once, soaring hih for about 10 minutes, but we did see good views of Hen harriers including a successful "kill" and this very soggy kestrel. it flew to a tree very close and looked a bit worse for wear

And of course many buzzards- this one very kindly would perch next to the cottage

Sagittarius serpentarius gradually approached the track, ever looking downward.
 
It's approach and crossing were almost stately in the careful placement of each step.
