definately a raptor...maybe some sort of falcon but I am not familiar with the birds of YORK

I would guess a Falcon of some kind because of the leg tethers.

I second Steve's answer.
A Montague Harrier (female?).
It looked a bit like an Australian Swamp Harrier in my Australian Bird Guide book which gave me the idea of looking up English Harrier images on the internet.

Hi, it is a Harris Hawk.
Aha! you are clearly correct.
not a UK bird: now i've looked beyond my 'British Birds' bible, i see they are very popular with Brit falconers... i'd best have a look through my Falconry pics to see if i've already seen one
:oops:
