This area is full of herons (it's the Provincial symbol), wild ducks and Moorhens -not birds of prey but still nice to see. Personally i'm a Swallow watcher -love 'em and we have quite a few nesting. They were back late this year - I went on holiday on March 26th and they hadn't come back.
Went to mum's in Tenerife and there they have Kestrels hunting in the Baranco and fantastic huge white owls that make a really weird cry at night and come swooping low over the roof terrace -they are the symbol of the island, amazing to see. Sometimes at mum's we see some of the Eagles from the Jungle Park too which is on a nearby mountain. Been to the display there which is really worth seeing, had a Golden Eagle fly to my hand -pretty scary!

I don't know what kestrel is bigger than UK kestrel?
I found this peregrine cam in Rome the young are bigger than the London one. It also seems to run longer than the London one on my computer - the London one doesn't run longer than a minute before I have to refresh.

They had an American Bald Eagle in the country fare and charged for a photo holding it.
