Found them on the track, think the peregrine get him.

I would imagine very difficult to ID - but look "fluffy" - maybe an owl ?

 

[bullet chucker]

Buzzard.

BC.

 

[sundog]

Red grouse

Grouse

 

[gelert]

Woodcock

 

[Border]

Grouse gets my vote as well.

 

[foxyshane]

Grouse would fit the location but I haven’t heard any grouse up there in a long time.

 

[Mickeydredd]

golden plover?

 

[paul dillon]

Kestrel female

Trying to gauge scale, guessing the largest are circa 5-6 inches in length?
Do you have any ornamental ducks or coastal duck species about?

 

[deerstalker.308]

Yep.

If my guestimation on size is even close they’re too big and too broad to be from a small falcon

 

[deerstalker.308]

It’s not eider but something similar I would guess for size and colour palate

I agree. Waterfowl. That was my first thought from the broad feather and fluff

 

[Mickeydredd]

Its definately not a kestrel.

 

[gelert]

Two on the left are grouse,right is partridge,I haven't got any woodcock feathers at my tying bench at the minute to compare

Grouse would fit the location but I haven’t heard any grouse up there in a long time.

We can see why, nom , nom, nom are there Capercaillie or female Black Grouse there?

 

[FrenchieBoy]

I can name that bird - Tweetypie!

 

[foxyshane]

No the location is in the north of Ireland so no Cappercaillieor black grouse unfortunately.
