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
