Lesser Kestrel
Taken in Spain from the top of a derelict flour mill about 150ft up. Excellent views out of the small windows onto the LK colony nesting among the old pan tiles.
Nikon D2H, Nikkor 80-200 f/2.8 AF-S.

The tile colour complements the bird wonderfully making a really warm image. Nice one John.

A terracotta Kestrel by the looks, well fed and all. Nice 3D feel and interesting eye contact.

Very fine image of this interesting specie, John. Only nit is the bit cluttered environment, but I guess that's the way it should look at such a place. :toast: :toast:
