    Came across this in one of my fields (near a river bank) and was curious what it was - Can anyone tell me?

    It's a Barn Owl. Please report it via the link below for the national survey!

    I'd guess a Sparrowhawk or Kestrel.

    Really hard to tell without seeing more of the plumage… the beak looks to be more corvid-like though

    If you had more pics it would help people throw up a few opinions for sure!

    Have seen an owl around there before. Hopefully, there are more of them.

    Cant get any more pictures - probably gone by now.
