Description

FINALLY - a wild kestral hovering in search of prey to dive on.

Not the best of shots but given the low light I'm quite happy with it :) taken during the golden hour of the morning.

I wanted to get some even closer shots and I sat and waited for this bird to come back around as it was covering a VERY large field and was following some sort of pattern.

However every time it came back over head of me someone with a dog would walk under it and scare it off.

Really aggrivated at that but I know where to find this chap now so I will be out looking for it on wednesday if the weather is nice. I might even try and bait it onto a post or somthing.
