Kestrels in Wild pictures

Dear All,
Nice to have some respite from the rain but not sunbathing weather just yet.
Kestrel - Le Faucon Crécerelle
Kestrels are probably the most recognisable bird of prey and are often seen hovering over fields or by the sides of motorways.  The English name Kestrel is derived from the French word Crécelle meaning rattle or ratchet and is descriptive of their call.   Kestrels are true Falcons, which comes from the Latin word Falco, meaning scimitar shaped wings.  This wing shape gives all members of the Falcon family the ability to fly really quickly with expert manoeuvrability.
