    A beautiful sighting and shot Dr Reddy. A hello from a cousin Down Under in Australia, in a similar moment captured! (Falco cenchroides).
    Nankeen kestrel I loved watching it flying, hovering into the wind with the quick, shallow wing beats. It would maintain this action for minutes at a time whilst searching the ground for prey. In between times, coming to rest on a high perch such a tree or as here, on a utility pole.<br /> <br /> Seen in open environments, avoiding dense forest.They hunt a variety of prey, including small mammals, small birds, lizards and insects.<br /> <br /> 30 cm length<br /> Australia,Aves,Falco cenchroides,Falconidae,Falconiformes,Geotagged,Nankeen kestrel,Spring,Vertebrate,bird,fauna,hunter,new south wales,raptor
