Just caught this one in a pigeon trap, it's got a ring on it but no number. There was a racer as well but I managed to contact the Owner of that.

The racer had a number on it so I phoned and found the owner. Only a couple of miles away so I dropped it back home. He had 6 young birds go missing in a perigrine attack and it was one of them. On the plus side he keeps Pakistani high fliers so he's promised me the next couple of young birds

Think it's a roller or high flier, no number on the ring just a coloured leg band.

Could be anything tbh, I banded feral birds if caught before releasing them 15 mile away to see if my birds could catch them again should be able to have an idea of what is tho just watching it with other birds

I just thought it had nice eyes

I'm to soft to be a pest controller

Because they are all crazy eyed manky grizzle things mate, they have all different strains though and some go for silly money.

 They compete with them the same way as  tipplers I think seeing who's will fly the longest, I think some can fly 18 hours.
