Lance,
that's a very beautiful image.
Excellent detail on the bird and the colours really work well together to make this a striking photograph.
Lovely creamy background is the icing on the cake!

very nice... female?

we have a different type of kestrel around here.. this one looks quite different to me.

Lovely catch there Lance, with the background working nicely for you. You have steady hands!

Looks like well maintained grasslands - golf course?

Thank you for your nice comment, Bob. It is a little difficult to identify the female compared to the male as they are quite similar.
