While we were in the garden yesterday afternoon, we were startled by the loud
tearing sound made by fast-moving wings just above us, at or below roof height.
A raptor (many sudden alarm calls made this apparent) had passed low through
the garden at tremendous speed. I followed it as fast as I could to an open
viewing spot and just glimpsed a large peregrine heading rapidly west over the
roof tops. This is our second recent sighting.
