500_3366-3.jpg (Falco tinnunculus)

Kestrel, Walney Island, Cumbria, UK. This bird alighted on a signpost just as I rolled the car to a halt a short distance away. The photo was taken against a very bright sky so I had to use software to pull the details out of the shadows. I can't decide if it looks more like a photo or a highly detailed painting. Either way I quite like it.
