steve_b_wales Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 This little beauty very kindly perched on the next door hotel balcony long enough so that I could get a photo of it. A Kestrel I believe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to see it strike and kill a Sisken on one of the hotel lawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjaferret Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 In that case it could be a Lesser Kestrel, note the lack of facial markings. But I'm not certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
