KESTREL
I was so fortunate to have my camera at the ready for this shot of an adult male kestrel hovering for its prey, without success. It was loitering with intent overhead for a fair while.
A kestrel's head will remain still whilst hovering, to make detection of its prey much easier.

Always a wonderful sight! Lucky you getting a photo as well.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend! xx
what an amazing capture with your camera, so beautiful when you enlarge it. Loved your blackbird photo too.
wonderful photo, I love watching kestrels...
Beautiful picture Louise!
Love Lou xxx
Well done at managing to get this picture.
Although I live in suburbia, Long Island, I think that I have a small hawk in my yard too.There are red tail hawks going after anything with fur, and a Cooper's Hawk going after the bird feeder birds. Nice blog and I loved the category about guarenteed multipliers.
Amazing birds :)

Good catch Louise!
Don't you love it when you have the camera in hand and you actually get the photo?
You may like my poem "Highway Robber", Louise (although it's about a hawk, not a kestrel).
