Wind hawk
by Jokke
This is one of my 'lucky shots' in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria in late February.
I don't know the English name of this Falco tinnunculus, but its Finnish name
is tuulihaukka which means wind hawk. That name describes its behaviour very well.

Excellent shot lovely natural colours. I agree it looks very similar if not the same as our UK Kestrel. When watching for prey does it hover with its head virtually stationary.
