Philip TAylor

I caught this morning morning's minion, king-
dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding
Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding
High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing
In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,
As a skate's heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding
Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding
Stirred for a bird, – the achieve of, the mastery of the thing!

Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here
Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion
Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!

No wonder of it: shéer plód makes plough down sillion
Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear,
Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermilion.

The Windhover

Gerald Manley Hopkins



Theodisc

A common old name for the Kestrel: the windfucker, or the fuckwind. I kid you not. There is even a gloss for this name in the OED:

1. A name for the kestrel: cf. windhover.
"1599 Nashe Lenten Stuffe 49 The kistrilles or windfuckers that filling themselues with winde, fly against the winde euermore.".

The name was coined by elizabethan playwright, pamphleteer and dramatist Thomas Nashe in 1599. The "fuck" in the name refers to an older germanic meaning of "beating and striking" whilst fucking (the twain that could still fit in to the modern habituations of the said "usage" (or "do-age") nowadays anyways, I suppose).

Almost immediately after Nashe created his name it was used by men to jocularly describe other men's businesses as to fuck also meant exactly what it carries on meaning to-day. A second gloss from the OED on this "windfucker":

2. fig. as a term of opprobrium.
1602 Narcissus MS. Rawl. Poet. 212, lf. 80, I tell you, my little windfuckers, had not a certaine melancholye ingendred with a nippinge dolour overshadowed the sunne shine of my mirthe, I had beene I pre, sequor, one of your consorte. 1609 B. Jonson Silent Wom. i. iv. (1620) C3b, Did you euer heare such a Wind-fucker, as this? c1611 Chapman Iliad Pref. A4, There is a certaine enuious Windfucker, that houers vp and downe, laboriously ingrossing al the air with his luxurious ambition. a1616 Beaum. & Fl. Wit without M. iv. i, Husbands for Whores and Bawdes, away you wind-fuckers [sic ed. 1639].


I like the third exemple from 1611. 😂

This is so awesome to see and understand, we have 5 kestrels that live near us that hunt together, one even who flew like a bullet head hight to me over a fence about 5 meters in front of me. I live in the country side and about 10 years ago there were only 2 but now at 5 :)

William Hector

Thank you so much Liam this is one of my favourite’s birds I really enjoy your channel and all the hard work you’ve put into researching all the information so we can benefit keep up the good work 😊

MrAbletospeak

I used to see kestrels along the motorways in central Scotland years ago. They disapeared for many years. I see them occasionally now. I hope they are comming back.

Phil McKenna

I see them all the time in the Peak District

I have never heard of this bird before as they apparently are not in the US. They are very interesting animals. Well done.

They are found in almost all the lower 48! They are easy to overlook as they are small, not much bigger then a blackbird, they roost on telephone wires all the time! When I was a kid in Santa Cruz CA. It was common to see them on the wires near any empty field, we would see them down town as well. My cousin Sherry had one fly in her back door and land in her lap. It was an escaped bird from a falconer as it had the leather truss to tie to the perch on. She tried to find who owned it to no avail and was able to keep it because the laws concerning birds of prey were not yet passed, she had a large cage in the corner of the bedroom that he only used at feeding time and night, unless he was alone in the house then he waited in the cage. He loved my cousin and followed her from room to room. He loved getting head and neck scratches as long as it was Sherry he would not fly to anyone else without a food bribe, and then not even all the time! Sherry was the only human he completely trusted.

@Steven Hall
Wow, that's a great story. Yeah, I haven't noticed these birds but will be on the lookout for them in the future. Thanks for the reply. Best wishes.

Steven Hall

notsosilentmajority thank you, I try and add a tidbit of knowledge here and there if I can do so without offending anyone, and then again I'm not an expert on anything just very well red. And sometimes I say something that I find out was wrong later on, usually because our knowledge keeps improving and new things are discovered all the time which can leave what everyone thought was truth once, is now shred up mama's tales thanks to new information being discovered! But that's ok I don't mind being wrong if it's got people talking and checking facts and learning as well!! But yes we do have Kestrels here and they are prettier then England's birds!! jus sayin!
