Kestrels are pretty commmon obviously, but Peregrine Falcons are also seen in South London - somebody told me they'd seen one in a Pepys Rd garden for instance. Not sure if either of these fit your description mind
I can't comment on your particular bird, but I see sparrowhawks in Dulwich fairly frequently (often whipping past the bird feeders) and kestrels from time to time. And I did see peregrine high over Dulwich Park once — I don't imagine they're nesting anywhere nearby but I think they hunt over a wide area.
Yep, you're right, it's a kestrel. See Hilly Fields Birdwatch for pictures.
Wow thanks Sue, what a great site.
I've also seen an owl in that part of the park - earlier this summer. I'm not an expert but think it was a tawny owl.
