Unknow Falcon
Photographed today at MP. At first glance I thought Peregrine but then at home it looked more like a Hobby, especially with the blue face markings. Neil

From heavy build and proportions it is a Peregrine.
Juvs certainly show relatively thin, long moustaches like this one.
Oh and it's a great photo, considering the bird must have been travelling at some speed!
