whilst shooting this dove i spotted something red and brown fly away into the bushes, similar to a male vermilion only a little bigger and more red/orange.

Dont have a clue what it was, summer Tanager? dont know if we get them around here. Didnt get a shot at it.

i spotted something flying hard over the ponds and the birds/ducks were scattering fast, so its was either the Harrier or the Falcon, ended up it was the latter.
