...I think.
I was out walking the dogs one day (14th of this month) and came across this bird of prey 3 streets away from where I live. I've identified it as an Australian Hobby (Falco longipennis), but I'm not 100% sure. If someone can positively identify this bird for me I'll appreciate it.

1. Hey, what is that? I got very excited when I spied this near the top of the pine tree.

8. I hated having to walk away but the dogs were getting impatient. This view roughly shows how far up it was.

I think I've seen it a few more times since then so I'm going to try and find it again soon, preferably without the dogs in tow.
Taken with 70-200mm f/4.
C & C always welcome.
