Strange set of marks

Hi,
Help needed on this strange set of marks on this dessert spoon
I have listed them under this forum as similar marks to some other Scottish ones I have.
A nice spoon with well struck marks, crest may help an attribution.
It looks more like a seabird than a bird of prey to me but ornithology is
not my strong point.

I think this is Johannes Casparus Lotter, Cape of Good Hope. Baptised 1768, died 1823.

Hi.
Thanks for the information.
I was thinking Scottish mainly due to the wheel and spokes type marks.
It is easy to find similar Cape examples once you know what to hunt for.
Your input is much appreciated.
My second Cape piece recently which is pleasing.
