Peregrine in flight

I posted a peregrine some time ago, sitting atop a building near the centre of Sheffield. This one, by contrast, is soaring above the Suffolk countryside. We weren't 100% on the ID so if anyone thinks we're wrong, please do say so.
Today we did a wander rather than a walk, around the Sizewell Belts and Kenton Hills, just enjoying the fine weather, countryside and wildlife. We saw a few fungi, a respectable number of butterflies, and as well as this bird, which kept us company for much of the afternoon, we got a good, if brief sighting of a marsh harrier. Dragonflies were the stars today in terms of numbers - lots of common darters, some southern hawkers and emerald damselflies and others which were too fast for me to get a clear view of, let alone a photo.
It's been a week now since we left home and saw our garden badger. I wonder if he is still visiting. A neighbour who is now back from holiday will hopefully put down some food and try to get some photos.
