Note the light grey head and the barred tail, which distinguish Dickenson's kestrel from the grey kestrel. It forages from high, open dead trees as in some of these photos. The top photo was taken on Pemba, courtesy of Per Holmen. The 2nd row photo (Mkomazi) is courtesy of Kim Axmann. The left 3rd row photo was taken in Selous; right 3rd row, Mikumi, courtesy of Karine Van der Vurst. The adult in flight was photographed in Mikumi NP, courtesy of Jan van den Hombergh. The right 4th row photo is of a Dickinson's and a grey kestrel, also in Mikumi, courtesy of Adam Kennedy. The right 4th row photo of a juvenile (note blue-green skin around the eye) was taken in Selous, courtesy of Cameron Raffan. The other photos of juveniles were taken in Selous, courtesy of Paul Oliver.
