Kestrel
A juvenile male from earlier in the month (another bird than in my previous posts). He just finished a snack, and is now having a siesta.

20D + 500/4 + tc1.4; iso400, 1/200, f6.3. Almost full frame.

Hi Helge

A great shot, lovely light and detail. :toast:

Once again I am impressed with your stalking and tracking skills. I have seen Kestrels many times in the wild in the UK but never thought I could get this close to a wild bird. Very well done.

cheers
