Hovering Kestrel?

["Tom and Mandy Wilson" <>]

Hi all
Interesting in all this thread that no-one has picked up that an old English 
name (originating from SW England) for kestrel is "windhover".
However, I agree with John Tongue that Nankeen Kestrels are equally adept at 
hovering on a still day as using a strong breeze to effect a hover. The 
bird(s) at Long Reef in Sydney have given me ample opportunities to observe 
both types of hover at close range (yes - there is such a thing as still day 
at Long Reef!)
Cheers
