This Kestrel fledlging took its first flight from the nest this morning, 3rd July 2009.



I was lucky enough to be in the vicinity and catch these shots of it.



He/she was back in the nest by lunchtime, the big, wide world must have seemed a scary place!

Thanks for looking and commenting Ellen, I'm glad you liked them.

I've been away since last weekend, I expect the fledglings will have gone by the time I return to work on Monday.
