Description Kestrels hunt from static perches and by hovering:
The latter is far more productive, but uses lots of energy, which is why they hunt mainly from perches during the winter.
This one is doing the same thing but should`ve been flying in the display not sitting it out

European Kestrel IUCN Red List Conservation status - Least Concern

Beautiful pic, but could it be lightened a little to show more facial detail?
