Taken from Avalon hide this afternoon Sat 7th Oct. Catching dinner
Kestrel
Wasn't sure was going on RSPB people there and behaviour catching dragonfly in air.
Definitely a kestrel. Disappointing that staff (volunteers or paid) couldn't correctly i.d. it. Several reasons why it is a kestrel and isn't a hobby. Most obvious ones are 1) Tail. Show me a hobby with that slab of black. 2) Wing markings. Nowhere near enough barring. 3) Hard marking nowhere near dark enough.
'Hard' = 'head' - I hate spelling auto correct
