Good luck to the #Winterwatch team on their raptor search! It would certainly help if they had a peregrine lending a wing - their eyesight is around eight times better than that of humans! #BBC #Springwatch #wildlife #nature #BirdingScotland #ukwildlife @bbcspringwatch.bsky.social 📷 Jon Hawkins

Peregrines are my favourite raptor, followed by golden eagles. #Winterwatch
