Title: Peregrine and Avocet

I believe it was some sort of Harrier catching an Avocet. Please correct me if you believe this is incorrect. ;)

An amazing photo!

However the bird in your photo looks very dark and to be dark blue-grey, especially on the back, and has a rather short tail.

I suspect it is a Peregrine
