Description Not Sure If I Have Already Uploaded This Shot Or Not But I Don't Think So. I Don't Often Shoot Captive Birds As I Believe They Should Be Free But On Occasion I Have And This Little Kestrel Was Just So Stunning That I Couldn't Resist So I Hope You Will Excuse A CAptive Raptor Shot On This Occasion.

Nice bird, but the photo does seem over-sharpened.

Ah, it is in scraps. I think it just appeared in my devWatch because you initially submitted to your gallery.

Nice photo but awefully over-sharpened. I think you should rework the sharpening!

I Know I Wish I New What To Do With It
I Shot This As A Jpeg About Two Years Ago
Did an Awful Job At Post Process And Deleted The Original jpg
So This Is The Only Copy I Have. Might Just Bung It In Scraps.

I wonder if all birds of prey have the light colored chest feather with the darker spots? Even your Heron had chest feathers like that.

No I Don't Thinks
Sparrow Hawks Have A Horizontal Stripped Pattern To Their Chest Feathers.

Very cool, looks a lot like a Kestral.. Is it about the same size?

Your Right Mate I Uploaded It From Its Thumbnail And Got The Wrong Shot
But This One Is Far Better Any How

Very cool, I love the smaller predators. They tend to be more dramatic in markings and actions..
