Ao a big fellas sitting on fence just over from my back garden. Could just be a damp annoyed pigeon given the white markings on his neck. But something about his size and posture suggests bord of prey of some sort. Would be a very, very big pigeon. Photos below are as zoomed in as I could get

They are a lot beefier than a street pigeon, which most people are more used to seeing.
