Timelord 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I was in my garden target shooting when I looked up on my roof and saw this little fella. I do know it's a wild bird of prey and my guess is it's a kestral. I would like your expert opinions on this question please, as the title of this thread suggests. What bird is it? Don't worry I would not dream of taking a shot at such a magnificant creature in case anyone misinterprets me Thanks for reading Lee.... Quote Link to post

Timelord 0 Posted November 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Fantastic thanks for that, I've never seen them sat on the roof before around here but I've seen them taking pigeons out real good in mid air over my garden I bait pigeons, crows and magpies etc around here and I suppose they find my area pretty good for food Cheers Lee..
