Falco tinnunculus, what? Now if that truck was just removed it'd be so sweet.

"Falco tinnunculus, what? " - Falco tinnunculus Female!!!
BTW , there is nothing more accurate than the scientific names - the common names of the same bird may differ in different countries, even in the different regions of the same country and many times they are ambiguous - same name for different birds...
Just Eurasian kestrel (in England they will call it "the Kestrel" - because there is no other species of Kestrel there)! Nice photo BTW !

ISV I can't say I relish using Latin. Reminds me of northern BC where town names may be the actual original except they did not have an alphabet so you read this name as you're driving by and it's about 15 letters long and essentially the phonetic of something that an english speaker would need to practice for 10 days to get it right. We just passed ... what was it called?? Duh. I theory I agree with the naming but in practice it is tough!

Lovely shots on this page. I'd really like to get some of owls. Well done!

A couple of shots of Australasian gannets off the NZ coast. My one is from the 5DIV + 400mm DO has the bird against dark cliffs, which I like. My wife's with the 5DSR and 100-400mm II shows nicely the dark wings against the light sky.

Beautiful shots to you and your wife!

Very nice shots again Alan! I'm with you on the first one, really like the way it is poised before landing (?) against the dark background.
