Common kestrel (Caption please) (Common kestrel)

How could I not take this shot. The army's soldiers were practicing on a nearby firing range and making a lot of noise but this plucky bird carried on regardless. Believe me it was a long hard climb/crawl to get this shot and I was completely knackered before I got anywhere near the top of the hill and just hoping the bird would not change its hunting perch.
