A kestral (I think!)

Yes, this is a Kestrel, probably a juvenile.

Wow, that's quick off the mark Mike!
AAMOI - what shows it's a juvenile?

Great capture well done Terry n w

Great shot good sneeking well done Mike

These are never easy to get close to, great capture, Mike, well done.

Not sure if this is a juvenile: Males have grey heads and a single black bar at the tip of the tail - Females are a bit darker, no grey head, and have barring along the length of the tail - Juveniles look like females.

This one looks like it's getting a grey head, and like the tail barring is fading, except for the tip, so it could be a young male. Bearing in mind that I'm no expert.|=)|

Nice shot Mike, done well to get so close, well done mate.

Very nice angle and pose on this kestrel shot :t::t: :clap:

Good one Mike.
