Thanks everyone. I spent about 5 minutes carefully creeping as close as possible to the Kestrel terrified of frightening it away. I thought my field-craft and stealth was getting better but it was so unafraid it actually flew down to the ground next to me and was very obliging. You don't get that very often. |

Thank you Jen. The female Kestrel is generally brown but the males are more ornate as you can see. Glad you like them. |
