Within half an hour of moving into our new apartment in Hyatt Regency Creek Heights this bird landed outside our window. Scrambled for a camera and got these two shots. Shikra or Sparrow Hawk I think.

Got one of the family in flight at last. Is this a male or female adult?
A moderate clean up and slightly different pose.
A cleaned-up version of the above image.
Thank you Mark. I'm afraid the days have gone when I used to rope down tall buildings but it was disappointing to find our windows as dirty as they are otherwise great views over the Creek and Creek Park and looking forward to other birds perching.
Check female/juvenile Kestrel images, Bob. And maybe clean your windows..... ;-)
Great alliteration Tommy. Not improving am I? My Kestrel images in the book I use do not look anything like what I took.
Great shots of a curious Common Kestrel :-)
Window a bit dirty but still looks good.
