An outstanding capture of this fabulous kestrel, Pete.

Very nice shot Peter, the lighting is spot on and the markings shown in fine detail. A lovely sight.

It's pleasing to see how the bird is happy to perch on man-made structures (as are Peregrines and Ospreys. Other raptors are adapted for specialist habitats: harriers come to mind. That's nature: whatever works!).
