It's a juvenile falcon, just not sure which one - I don't have my Sibley's guide in front of me. I hear there's an app for it now, however.

It would be easier to determine, if you could tell us, where you took this picture.Pappa Smurf said:
Seeing you are located in Devon, England, I would say, that it looks like a juvenile hobby (falco subbuteo) if you compare it to the pics of the adult here:

and here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_hobby#mediaviewer/File:Falco_subbuteo_from_Kadzidlowo.jpg
especially when you look at the pattern around the eyes.
But I am no ornithologist. So I could be totally wrong.

Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) by alabang, on Flickr
The little egret (Egretta garzetta) is a small white heron. It is the Old World counterpart to the very similar New World snowy egret. In Botswana, it is known as the yellow-footed egret.

Thank you Krob78, love this forum, still learning the ins and outs of contributing to it.
I am blown away by the efforts of some of the members to share and educate. Some of the user made charts, comparisons, and detailed explanations go way beyond what I have seen, or would have expected, on other forums of this nature. I have also noticed when things get a little too intense, there is always someone who steps in to lighten things up, I like that.
Tough to get on nearly as often as I'd like as my day job consists of not only the day, but quite often a portion of the night, so please forgive my lateness,(or lack of) response until I can incorporate my visits into some sort of routine.
My name is Vincent, which will eventually be included in my profile as soon as I can get around to modifying it to my liking

The eagle was found shot and is now blind in one eye
Not sure of the owl's story
The handler was just wrapping up some sort of presentation in one of the wings of the Banff Springs Hotel and let me take a few hurried photos
For some reason when I look at these photos they seem sad
Very nice images Nineyards. They do evoke emotion, I might add. They're really nice, I like the tones and the color. Thanks for sharing.

That was Sharp! How close are you to these birds?Jack Douglas said:A Harry the heron type shot for those who like detail. I'm buying suet by the case these days as the magpies are getting braver and the jays can't stand the magpies getting all the treats, and everyone seems to be feeding their babies courtesy of JDW!

Hi Jack.
Beautiful, sharp as a tack fantastic colours, and judging by the trunk, a shallow DOF.
Well done.
Cheers Graham.
