At 1.40pm today (Saturday) a hawk landed on our back garden fence in Springfield Road but flew off over O'Hanlon Avenue before I could get outside with the digital camera.
I only glimpsed it for a few seconds but it seemed larger than a kestrel and had some red colouring on its chest.
My knowledge of ornithology is very limited but I'm wondering whether anyone else in town might have seen the same bird.
It's probably wild but could be someone's treasured pet which has escaped, although I didn't see anything attached to its legs.
