| | | Kestrel
I got a nice surprise today, I had just come back into my living room,when something caught my eye on my balcony ledge,I was surprised to see a wet kestrel sitting there.I ran to get my camera and only managed 3 shots through my window(which needs cleaning  )
It saw me after the third and dived over the edge.Bit of a shock in central London!

Nice shots, they can be quite confiding birds, he may carry on using your balcony as a perch if you're lucky. We once had one walk into our utility room!

Nice shots, making the most of the opportunity. George Formby would have frightened the bird away.
