Dickinson's Kestrel

This is a tiny Kestrel, and I have never been able to get close enough!
Judging by the grey head this is probably a juvenile.
Taken Kwando concession, Northern Botswana.

I have the same issue with al Kestrels, so good job getting this one Ken. Good head turn, perch and colors.
