Kestrel?

Eurasian Sparrowhawk

@lintworm

Is that judging by size or by tail feather pattern?

tail feather pattern (Kestrel would have more stripes) and wing shape (more rounded than Kestrel)

@lintworm
Right. I was just wondering because I saw quite a few kestrels up there so I'm glad it was different species and was interested as to how you ID'd it with such an awful photo. I want to try and get better at IDing but at you can see, there is little hope

@amur leopard There is always hope, it all starts with getting a good field guide, a proper pair of binoculars and a lot of practice (= go outside often).
