| Surveying its surroundings - the escaped raptor |
This escapee was spotted in tall trees in the North-east Lincolnshire village of Humberston, near Cleethorpes, at lunchtime today.
The bird was being mobbed by two magpies, one of which approached close enough to aim a peck - at which point the huge raptor flew off to another tree, terrifying a group of perched woodpigeons which scattered from the branches in panic.
The Harris hawk is a native of North America and one of the most popular birds of prey among UK falconers.
