Raptor query-Kestrel

I'm confident this is a Kestrel....

either a migrant or a returning winter visitor.

Kestrel

The original posting does not say when or where the photo was taken.  (These details would help !)

The bird has long wings, a long but slightly rounded tail, looks quite rufous, and I think I can see a moustachial stripe. All good indicators that this is a kestrel.  Females are the more rufous.

Kestrels will face into wind and hover, with a fanned tail.... but , obviously, this one is not hovering !

"The Birds of HK and South China" by LAM, Viney and Phillipps is well worth buying and studying.

hope this helps

John

[size=2][size=2][/size][size=2][size=3][size=3]The photo was taken at 24/10/2009 in LCK park.
It just appeared in a short time,
I had no time to change my camera's setting,
so the photo was not very sharp

Thank you![/size][/size][/size][/size]
