Re: Bird of the day!

well we've all seen kestrels hovering then dropping a little then hovering and dropping a little only to fly off some where else, but today while driving round the m60 i actually saw one hit the ground and presumably make a kill, at the last fraction of a second before it touched down it jabbed it's legs downwards to the ground as if pouncing, then stood over something. couldn't see what it got but it's the first time i've ever seen one actually do this.
