Not Kestrels having lunch but Kestrels I saw whilst on my lunch 
The Downs are a short 5 minute drive from work so I decided to make use of the good weather and go for a short walkabout at lunch over the last few days.
I was hoping to get some better shots of the buzzards I saw up there but no such luck! Instead I just got a bunch of Kestrel stuff instead I saw at least two up there making the best of the weather and breeze to keep aloft.
Last shot is something off in the distance which someone can hopefully ID? One of the Buzzards I was looking for maybe?
These are all handheld as I've been trying to get some practise in. The shots with birds directly above me are kinda weird to take since it feels like I'm balancing the camera and lens on my face lol. This place has been quite breezy so it can be difficult to keep still. I'm also trying to get different looking shots like when it's moving around but that's also quite difficult to get sharp it seems!
