Hi Paul Admittedly Ive only looked at your images on my phone but the raptor looks more like a Peregrine to me. The head pattern looks too strong for Merlin and whilst the tail feathers look damaged, the wingtips stretch beyond the tail whereas in Merlin the tail exceeds the wingtips. In addition the picture showing the bird side by side with a Carrion Crow shows only a small size difference. Anybody else any thoughts?
