I see the occasional Raptor in my back garden during the summer, had a Kestrel a few times. This one is different. Excuse the quality, max zoom in movie mode.

Lovely musket sprawk.
Is he on a kill there. Looks like something at his feet. I've two muskets in my area and one hen sprawk. One male hangs around the tree line beside my daughters school and I've seen him take two wagtails and go after a juvenile magpie.
They're gorgeous birds.
The hen bird tends to hang around my back garden area and take the collared doves. My neighbour has expensive rare parrots and cockatoos. He's not a fan of her.
