Field Notes

Description:

Took this photo in Dumfries & Galloway from our holiday cottage. The bird was at the top of a large tree, so I've cropped the photo a little. Pretty sure it is a peregrine, but would be grateful if someone could confirm.

Habitat:

Edge of forest, by open grassland and farmland. Close to the coast.
