Kestrel by rosiekind

Kestrel

Not a particularly good shot but I have never captured one of these before. At first I thought it was a pigeon on the wire but I realised it wasn't due to the fact it had a long tail. When I saw what it was, I was really pleased that I'd taken it. The only thing was I didn't have time to adjust the settings on my camera which is why it's not very good. It looks as though it has lost an eye
Great find! Pretty markings and colors!

Looks similar to thouse found in the US and certainly could be a kestral, the smallest of falcons!

It is a Kestral a good record shot, last one i tried to was hovering then swooped down on some prey just as i pressed the button and his head is out of the frame, so well done

@esox Thanks Martin for correcting me. I was so pleased to get the shot but wasn't quite sure what it was and hadn't had time to check it out
