A raptor got blown into our garden this evening. It ended up perching on the Silver Birch. I thought it was a pigeon at first but through the binos I could see the hooked beak when it turned its head. Dark grey plumage at the back and a dark head with some light patches round the bottom of the head. About the size of a pigeon. The most exotic visitor to my house since those two Jehovah's witnesses a few weeks ago ;)
Sparrowhawk would be my bet Alf

Another visit from my recently friendly neighbourhood Sparrowhawk today. It stayed a bit longer this time till it got jumped by the local Magpie Mafia. Can you spot it ?

I think it's safe to say that's a long eared bat :)
