Perched Kestral

Description

Woo! A wild kestral perched on a fence post.

this was shot just after leaving Portland Bill on the main stretch back up towards the Verne, Dorset, UK.

It wa hovering over the road and I lept out of the car to catch it and it then went and caught something and went and perched. You've never seen me run so fast and low with a camera and lens. I was snapping up until I got about 10 metres from it when I took this one. Still only 30% of the frame filled but some bloke came with a dog and the Kestral took off. Typical

Still its wild and sharp so i'm happy. Just wish the light levels would of been brigheter!
