falcon help.
girl i work with took these pics while on holiday in greece and as a birder she asked me what it is. my opinion is red footed falcon, maybe young female, chest streaks seem to thick for kestrel and too dalk around eyes.
agree or disagree ???? p.s.... i have another pic, could someone advise me how to attach more than one. Last edited by Rob.W : Monday 25th February 2008 at 22:28. |

Can't help with the ID but to attach multiple pics when the browse for file pop up box comes up, upload the first pic and wait for it to complete the process where it will then show the attachment file name within the pop up box, then simply repeat the process for each additional pic.

You're doing well to pull an ID from pic 2 hotspur, or pic1 for that matter, maybe too much Retsina on that holiday

Hello all,
If these photos where taken is summer then the chances of it being a Red-footed are (nearly) zero. One of the Kestrels for me (with the first being Common). Cheers! Dimitris
