Common Kestrel Illustration - Birdwatching & Ornithology Resource #153572 (License: Personal Use)

This ornithological illustration depicts a male common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) in sharp detail-featuring its rufous back with black spots, grey head and tail, and yellow cere and legs-perched confidently on a gnarled branch. In the background, a smaller owl, likely a little owl (Athene noctua), adds ecological context and compositional balance. The soft, painterly style suggests a late 19th- or early 20th-century natural history plate.
