That this pic was greyer than the real life bird also very relevent.A reasonable analysis given (IMO <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> ) of why it is a kestrel.No reasonable alternatives given (or even attempted). (And where's Jane T, JanJ et al ??)Fun is one thing, satisfactorily identifying a blurry blob is far more satisfying and worthy. Definitely a Kestrel, for reasons given. :t: Seriously.(Anyway, I'm off to bed. . . Cheers)</blockquote>
