UK - Merlin or Kestrel or ? (1 Viewer)

[Mad Scientist]

This was a long way away. When I took the photo, I thought it was a Sparrowhawk. When I looked at home and checked the RSPB, I thought it was a Merlin. When I looked at more images, I thought it's possibly a Kestrel.

So, which is it do you think?

Hello, only my second subject to post on since re-joining the site! That happens to be my all time favourite species, a stunning Kestrel!
