The Final of the Kestrel Series
Possibly the final images taken today whilst she was sat on one of the fence posts at the release site.

Today she stayed out all day catching insects, brilliant to see that she as become a little self sufficient.

Tonight will be her first night out in the wild on her own. Will check tomorrow to see if she decides to stay around.

Thank you for commenting on the images I have posted of her. :toast:

This is more or less a full frame of a beautiful companion, I hope she does well!

Fabulous series Vince, and a fitting finale :toast:

I like the upward angle and well defined clouds as a backdrop for this shot.

I hope the little chap settles back into the wild easily!!
