caption: The image shows a common kestrel in flight, its wings spread wide and its feathers glistening in the sunlight as it soars through the sky. Its sharp eyes are focused and alert, and its beak is slightly open, as if it is about to take flight. Its feathers are a mottled brown and white, with a black and white pattern on its wings and tail feathers. Its talons are outstretched and its tail feathers are fanned out behind it, giving it a graceful and powerful look.
