steve_b_wales Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 A Female Lesser Kestrel I'd say. nice picture there! It is a Kestrel, but not sure which species. I posted a similar photo of this (could be the same bird) last September. It was swooping and diving very fast near my balcony, but I was lucky to have my camera to hand when it was hovering. I've got another one of 'it' while it was on the ground. I'll see if I can find it and add it to my original one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazb1967 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Photographed this bird while it was hovering above the balcony at my hotel in Hurghada. Egypt Bird.jpg Great Pic Hurghada, that brings back memories, done a couple of trips down there a number of years back pulling an umbilical ashore for the petro chemical plant down there, Coral reefs were amazing until the Egyptians pulled the umbilical straight through them, steel feel sick now thinking about it.
