Perigrine falcon or buzzard perhaps. Just guessing.

Buzzard I’d say, doesn’t look like a kestrel

Some kind of raptor, I can’t make it out, but download the Merlin app and you can ID birds via a pic or sound!

Definitely an albatross…..or a Millennium Falcon.

Looks like a sparrowhawk to me, difficult to be certain though with the blurry photo.
Edit, Markings and size leads me to believe this isn’t a Buzzard. Buzzards are much bigger birds. Correct me if I’m wrong though

Buzzard. They like sitting on fences I’ve noticed.

Yes. Bird.

I am guessing a buzzard. They are solitary and love sitting motionless on fences. Usually you’d expect them on the fencepost rather than the rung. There are lots of them where I live (southern Netherlands)

If it was a buzzard you’d have heard them around… they tend to live, hunt and weirdly sit on the wrong part of a fence in one area…

Definitely some kind of raptor I’d go as far as to guess some kind of hawk based on colouration and size, it looks like it could be a juvenile buzzard. Definitely looks too large for a kestrel and too brown for a peregrine, might be a kite

Plenty of these in the Dublin 18 area closer to the hills/mountain

That’s a juvenile buzzard, the chest colouring gets darker the older they get

It’s a Sparrowhawk, 100%.

Sparrowhawk 100%.
It has the stance and talons of an accipter.

It’s in the middle of the photo, sitting slightly right of centre, perched on a fence post.
Do I win a prize?

Maybe ask the bird about the ID directly, if you must. Not a random people on reddit. Or call gardai if it’s trespassing. No need to risk any escalations on your own. Stay safe.

He’s a spastic hawk.
Correct. It’s bird.
