In the 1600s, before the word was considered vulgar, the kestrel was referred to as the "windfucker"."
There is no citation, and when I googled it, the only relevant results I could find seemed to be taken from this article. I smell a prank. If anyone can find valid evidence that this is true, feel free to put it back. Armblast 22:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
On the right hand side of the page there are three photos of kestrels. I do not think that the middle image captioned "Male F. tinnunculus" is a male kestrel.
The falcon does not have the characteristic blue grey head of the male kestrel. Also the brown of the wings is much darker than I believe a male kestrel's would be. The breast of the falcon in the image is cream with brown spots while that of the male kestrel is a brown breast with black dots.
I think this image is of a Saker Falcon not a male Common Kestrel
[1] This is a link to an image of a saker falcon
[2] This is a link to an image of a common kestrel
Could someone please change the image or remove it.
Thank you
