The Male Kestrel
Just after I published the last post, I heard the kestrel's cries and looked out the window to see her back in the high window ledge she seems to like. A few moments later her mate arrived! She flew off just as he arrived in the courtyard (I guess the honeymoon is over). I've only seen him once before - if then, since that first time he was just a flash of a second bird flying away. This time he took up the post abandoned by the female, and I got a good look at him through the binoculars. The male kestrel has a distinctive grey head, so any remaining doubt in my mind about their species has been removed.
