Field Notes

Description:

Too far away to see clearly but lack of any darkness on the tips of the primaries and a pointed look to the tail are suggestive of Lesser Kestrel.

Habitat:

Flying over agricultural fields from its hilltop castle "home".

This one was far away and I didn't even look at Lesser Kestrel because I've never seen one here and it's outside it's range unless it was on migration which is possible.
