Hi Marianne and everyone else,
I saw a kestrel myself this morning at the junction of routes 132 and 5 in Norwich (Pompy Flats). And yes, they pump or bob their tails when perched from what I understand. The one I saw this morning was flying then perched on a fence
post and did just that.

This morning in my back yard I do believe I saw, for the first time, a kestrel. Is a Kestrel the one that flicks its tail while perching? Too late with my binoculars to get a good look.
