Thanks. I thought that may be more likely. Also the likelihood of seeing a peregrine falcon in our back garden seems pretty slim to me.
In other bird news I saw an excellent buzzard sitting in a tree right next to the cycle path on the ride to work. Of course by the time I’d got my phone out it had decided I was a bit suspect and flown off.

Most likely sparrowhawk, but could also be a peregrine. In my experience the peregrine grabs a pigeon on the wing and takes it somewhere up high to eat, and the scuffles are more sparrowhawk -like, with eating nearer to the ground.
