Falcon fly over Lickeen Lake

On my way back from the Burren, I was driving near Lickeen Lake on the high rd to the south.

This Falcon circled above me, I managed to get 2 shots off before I lost the bird.

I pulled the shadows out of the photo to show what I believed to a Hobby and that I believe to be a 2nd CY or 3rd Summer bird.

Could it be my 2nd for the county and 5th Hobby this year.

Or is it some other species of Falcon???

 
  UPDATE.

Now, a day later and through the help and interest from friends, Mentors and outside influences we have a conclusion that the bird is of Generel Kestrel shape and in active primary moult, making it odd,weird looking, yet interesting to say the least.

Heading update from Hobby to Falcon.

Hobby - Carnsore Point Wexford

Hobby.

Early morning , the wind had been from the SE overnight so I decided to start my day around Carnsore point on the SE tip of Co Wexford , I had never been over  there before but fancied it as a good spot for seeing a migrant bird

At the end of a bumpy lane I slowed to look about, a Hobby soaked from an overnight flight through the rain was perched up on a post on the edge of a crop field.

All the kids got a view in the bins and I was happy with a start to the day
