| It has also been called grasshopper hawk, killy hawk, house hawk, rusty-crowned falcon, and windhover. |
|
| A dialect name for the kestrel – alongside such felicities as windhover and bell-hawk – is wind-fucker. |
|
| Instead it is a favorite of morning, a little brown-grey falcon, called the windhover because, hurling itself headlong into the wind, it rides on the crest of that wind. |
|
| But from April onwards, as the air temperature rises, these beautiful falcons rise up again, amply justifying their wonderful folk-name, the windhover, made famous by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. |
|
| The plunge of the windhover onto its prey suggests not simply the Fall of man and nature, but the descent of a redemptive Christ into the abyss of human misery and cruelty. |
|
| Windhover provides its information and analysis in many formats, including print, electronic databases, international conferences and webinars. |
|
| In3 West will be presented by Medtech Insight, a division of Windhover Information. |
|
| Hopkins Windhover takes a mouse, the ring doves greedily eat the corn. |
