Description Source of english phrase - cadge and old codger...
The frame that was used to carry falcons to the field was called a cadge (a variant of 'cage'). Frame carrying was said to be a job for elderly falconers, who came to be called 'old cadgers' and later, 'old codgers' also the derivation of 'cadging a lift'.

American Kestrel IUCN Red List Conservation status - Least Concern

Songbirds get all the glory, but I think the Kestrel may be the prettiest bird native to the US.

The US one is definitely a beautiful bird - such deeper colouring than the UK one, such feisty little birds

I didn't even realize there was a UK Kestrel. I thought you were simply making clear where it came from.
