Unknown Bird Of Prey

[Si_25]

Hi All

I have just found this site while trying to find the name of this unknown bird. I took the photo while out in the snow and it just looked amazing and wondered what it was. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Hi, and a warm welcome to WAB, It's a kestrel, which you can confirm in the members Gallery where you will see lots of Kestrel shots.

Big thank you to all the wonderful comments about my photo. I hope take some more photos of this bird, do they tend to hunt in the same area?

I'm not too sure, but I think there's a reasonable chance you'll see it in the same area again, if not necessarily in exactly the same spot. I see one quite frequently in the same small area a couple of miles from where I live.
