| | | young kestrel in medstead
did not think that i would be posting again so soon so here are some photo's of a very young looking kestrel that i spotted near to where i work at,i first spotted this lovely bird around 2 weeks ago one saturday morning,he was sat in a tree opposite the shop and on being disturbed it flew over to the doctors surgery and landed on one of the secruity lights where it sat for around 15 minutes and did not seem bothered by a car pulling up right beneath it and still not bothered by someone getting out of the car and walking right past and back again
Well ever since i have been carrying my nikon D3000 with a 70-300mm vr telephoto lense in the car just in case and today i was rewarded and i actually managed to walk within 10 foot of it to get the photo's of it on the top of the pole     |

Its an Adult Male, kestrel breed late March/early April onwards so a young bird at this time of year is unlikely to ever occur. |

Yes, lovely (and unusual) photos!  He certainly had his beady eye on you!
