Kestrel

This beautiful specimen came to have a look at us, as we sat having a drink at a seafront bar on the first day of our holiday, just a matter of , a sip of beer to steady the nerves, pick the camera up, wait for the pose and take the shot

Nice image, I see these hovering near side of road, but never have my camera with me.

He could have been, he was certainly unafraid of people Sam

I do too Dennis, I have other shots of him, like the one below, but the head tilt in the one above makes it stand out for me

The staere distracts away from the perch (wire)

You are nearly always going to get wires,branches and various bits in my shots Den, I photograph what I see while out and about (mostly walking the dog when at home), very rarely do I go in hides or set up shots, I will put food out at feeder sites I pass, but seldom stop to watch what comes to eat
