A common species but one of my favourite raptors, the Kestrel.
This is a female that I found in the outskirts of Bangalore. They are commonly seen in grasslands and are a winter migrant in the South. I liked this particular image because of the green leaves in the background unlike the termite mounds or thorny shrubs in grasslands where they are more commonly seen.
