For #BirdOfTheDay #TantalisingTextures: kestrel, gravel road, cattle grid 📸 Despite being a common sight for many of us Brits, kestrels have declined by 37% from 1995 - 2023 and now feature on the Amber List of Birds of Conservation Concern. #birds #photography #birdsofprey #britishwildlife

Kestrel standing on gravel road with a metal cattle grid in the background.

From The Wildlife Trusts -

Kestrels are typically seen hovering, their pointed wings held out. Males have a grey head and tail with a prominent black band, a gingery-brown back and a creamy underside which is speckled with black. Females are similar, but with a more uniform brown back and dark bands on the tail.
