Basil Ede

Kestrel



My feet are locked upon the rough bark,
It took the whole of creation
To produce my foot, my each feather:
Now I hold creation in my foot.

Or fly up, and revolve it all slowly-
I kill where I please because it is all mine.
There is no sophistry in my body:
My sophistry is tearing off heads.

Ted Hughes

Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey belonging to the falcon family Falconidae. This species is widespread in Europe, Asia and Africa. The Kestrel is relatively small compared to other predatory birds, but larger than most songbirds. Kestrels have long wings as well as a distinctive long tail. The kestrel's plumage is brown or grey with black spots, and the male has a blue-gray head and tail.
