Kestrel

Spotted this young kestrel hunting from the spindly tops of Christmas trees in the Davidstow plantation area this morning.

I reckon it was probably the same bird that Dibs had photographed a few days before.


It let me drive really close to it and continued to hunt. I got one shot as it crashed into the grass below the tree but it flew off empty handed.

Super shots, Adrian. The first image is particularly strong, I think. Beautiful work.
