@marlboromaam Walking on some local moors, I was lucky, and just happen to have a camera with zoom lens in hand. Thank you.

[Mags]

@gamelee I wondered. It's almost eye level!

[sheri]

Looks like she's scanning for a snack.

@monikozi Bluffing?

[moni kozi]

@gamelee how can you tell it's a female? I knooow: curiosity killed the cat. But i'm really curious.

[Lee]

@monikozi Kestrels have light-brown plumage with dark spots. Males have a grey-blue head, while females are all brown. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_kestrel

@gamelee That is interesting. Thank you for sharing the details. I can only tell apart common sparrows he and she, and the common blackbird he and she.
Anyhow, this is not the point, but it's nice to learn some things every now and then.
The point is that the image is so amazing.
