I say it is a hawk it may well be a falcon how do you tell the difference?
Answer:
A falcon has a notch on their beak that is used for breaking the neck of their prey, and the hawk's beak has a simpler, smoother curve and they typically use their talons on their feet to kill their prey. The peregrine falcon is one of the fastest animals in the world, flying up to 200 mph in a dive, while hawks are typically much slower and prefer to glide with much slower of a stroke. Hawks tend to be larger than most falcons. Falcons have long wings, hawk's wings are generally shorter. Many species of both hawk and falcon are endangered.

I guess it's a Gerfalcon I had the privilege of photographing one that had been blown off course and landed at Berry Head Brixham S.Devon it stayed for a few days people from all over the country traveled to Brixham in the hope of getting a photo or two of it I think they originate from Greenland but not positive.
