Male Kestrel hovering in the setting sun on my daily walk a few days ago

Hi Paul - nice capture of a beautiful Kestrel
- Is it me, or have you missed focus slightly? The tail area seems better focused than the eye to me.

Thanks Russ

You may be right about the focus missing. The light was not great and it's a heavy crop so it is not the best IQ but I was reasonably happy with the result.
