Its a male sparrowhawk Nice pics bftbs... thanks for sharing Well in the photo comparing it to the size of the magpie i would say female,not a musket,don't see any of the orange tinge you get on Musket either,but if it is a musket who gives a feck. All i'am saying it's not a falconers bird P.S.A musket would be hard pushed to deal with a magpie,ATB NID. In fact it's a MALE SPARROWHAWK. BUT THE DOUBT WAS SOME WERE SAYING IT WAS NOT A WILD BIRD.

jakepotjo 3 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 sorry thats a musket that bird is mot a spar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NID 0 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Aye a agree was only taking the size of it against the magpie, Its got a grey blue back instead of brown of the female, And i've flew 3 females ,atb NID. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogs-n-natives 1,182 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) I dont know what the feck a Musket is, im no falconer.... but that is certainly a male sparrowhawk, not a female... Edited April 22, 2009 by dogs-n-natives Quote Link to post Share on other sites
