Comments by the Expert Panel on this record:

Comment number:   1
By:   Colin Summersgill
Comment:   Appears to be a Greater Kestrel, but the dark eye and faint falcon-like hood look odd for this, unless it's a juvenile. Would be late for a male Lesser, also barring on flank is fairly typical for Greater.
