Effortlessly at height hangs his still eye.
His wings hold all creation in a weightless quiet
Steady as a hallucination in the streaming air.
-- Ted Hughes
from βThe Hawk in the Rain: Poemsβ, 1957

As the smallest of raptors, the kestrel reminds us that:
It is no small thing to live oneβs own life.
