Kestral

From todays walk - a Kestral that allowed me to get under the tree it was sitting in.

From where I first spotted it.

And finally a play with Topaz Texture Effects

Not sure about the effects, I like the one without better. Nice shots though, I like the breast feather markings, they've come out well.

Thanks Chris - appreciate the effects won't be to everyone's liking. Yes the fact it was obviously cold helped with the feathers.
