On one of my many Spring lockdown walks (when we could actually drive to somewhere for a walk) I found a pair of Kestrels. I stayed watching from my vantage point for a good 45 minutes, as they hunted the slopes neat Macclesfield Forest. The light was perfect and the sun was warm, so I just let them go about their business and every now and again, they'd venture close enough to let me take a few shots. Fascinating to watch them hover and keep that head dead still, constantly focusing on their prey.
Hello. How beautiful birds it is!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos.
hi Adam. Beautiful photos. We have them too in our area. Have a nice weekend. Greetings Caroline
ReplyDeleteWow, lovely captures of the Kestrel. It looks like it is hovering.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care and Enjoy your day! Happy weekend!
Kestrels are so beautiful and you're right about the lighting...it's perfect! Beautiful photos. We are just starting to see them again this Fall in this part of Florida.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I've ever seen a kestrel. These are just stunning. That gorgeous bird against that spectacular blue sky. What a good capture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the kestrel! I love the light coming through the feathers.
