Well done @bufferzone it was great to chat today. @Tapirlord @natureguy or @MatthewFrawley might be able to help with this one!

My view is that it is impossible to make a definitive identification from this image. It is good to see a raptor image but raptor identification is difficult and it is best to recognise the presence of the bird rather than give an incorrect diagnosis.

@BLSHFour agree with your logic. I've had a go at cropping this image, how's that now?
