Indeed it is Mr strong you lucky man a good sized female at that, there great in the garden they'll tend to scare the cats away too, but just fantastic to watch taking a bird off the table....

We do a bit of volunteering at a localish raptor centre and we rarely see these....

if your lucky and the bird life or squirells are plentiful you'll have it round for the year atleast, if you havent already, get a bird table....

i had a grey one last year,just dident know you could get brown ones.the grey one hung around until all the birds were gone. i saw it about 3 times,quite something to watch,this winter the nuts dident need toping up every week,they just rotted in the holder,now it looks like its starting on the black birds lol

Shes still a juvenile hence the brown..... I have a red Kite every tea time that seems to follow me and the dog.... more likely though the bird scarers go off across the field about the same time
