Thanks Dewi - if I had this guidance it would have been so much easier to ID him from my birding books !

Please can someone ID this little raptor for me.
The pics were taken at Croc Bridge.
I thought it might be a juv. lanner falcon, but lesser kestrel has also been suggested.
It was eating a bat.

I think it is a juvenile Little Sparrowhawk - look closely at the yellow eye & eye-ring.

nana!
The eyes could just be mostly black because it was in dense shade?

With those two white spots, IMO it can only be a little sparrowhawk.

I also agree Little Sparrowhawk
. The two white spots , plus yellow eyes as well as yellow cere are all indicative .The Lizzard buzzard have a black line down the centre of white throat .
