kestrel

One from today.

Another from my Kestrel shots.

Spooked this Kestrel out of some undergrowth, probably had a kill in there. Managed to get two or three quick shots off before it went out of sight.

Another kestrel shot - flying throuhg the trees

Kestrel on the hunt - My day started well as this kestrel was on thew roof of the hide I was going to go in. She stayed around for the whole morning so I managed a few good shots some of which I will post in the next few days.

This juvenile Kestrel was not too happy with the harassing Crow.

Adult bird with food for young that were calling in the trees.

Male Kestrel look on as it hears the shutter going off, used a wireless shutter release to take the shot while standing around 80yrds away.

Wheeling her away above Wicklow, Ireland yesterday.

Sorry I'm posting so late today, and haven't done any browsing yet either. I had a good writing day at work, and then carried on when I got home by finishing up my travel diary so I could exchange diaries with husband. So OK, now I'll post, have one last cuppa tea, and see how much browsing I...

Another of the Kestrel eating his prey

As we were leaving the reserve that morning, my sister spotted this Kestrel sitting high up in a tree. Didn't nail the focus too well, as there were so many leaves in the way; this was the best of them.

Took this shot in the fields at the back of my home. He was eyeing my neighbours cat and did make a dive at it up but quickly gave up on the idea!!!
