Not always easy to get a picture of, as they are more often than not on the move. These pictures are a little grainy, but the best I've managed so far. Maybe that will be a project for this year. Get better Kestrel pictures.

Kestrel
I love to watch raptors overhead. More of often than not its a Buzzard that makes itself obvious to me with its large wingspan, but in recent weeks I've come across plenty of Kestrels hovering at the roadside and in fields.

I used to see so many kestrels as I travelled backwards and forwards from London to Manchester but I can't remember the last time I saw one. It's good to hear that you see them so frequently.
ReplyDeleteCool series on the Kestrel. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - even seeing a kestrel hovering like that would be magical.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful action shots of our fine feathered friends ~
ReplyDeleteHappy Week to you,

A beautiful bird of prey with incredible flying skills (e.g.hovering).
ReplyDeleteYour photos don't disappoint... one appears to show hovering action!
Such a beautiful, regal bird.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/03/flying-high.html
The wing patterns look great.
ReplyDeleteGreat bird - used to be called Wind F****rs - when the word meant 'dominate or overcome' - strange the way language changes.

they're wonderful birds. i always see them on power lines, here, and fail to get a good shot!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos and action.
ReplyDeleteLike you say Adam, never easy because as soon as you get focused in on the bird it decides to move off and hover elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteI do always over expose when photographing a Kestrel against a bright blue sky.
A beautiful bird. Love your in flight captures.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful views of a bird in flight !

They are great pictures. I have noticed more kestrels this year compared to the start of last year hunting alongside roads and regular ones round Frodsham Marsh.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous series of images
ReplyDeleteGreat shots!
ReplyDeleteThese are terrific in-flight captures!
