Recently fledged Kestrels
These are two of the three young Kestrels that I've been watching over the last couple of weeks. Sheltering from a pretty gusty wind on the cliffs last evening and waiting for mum to bring in something for tea, which she did a few minutes later.

Thanks

wow! I'd love to see this let alone photograph it. Is this a true representation of their colours Paul? Looks a bit muted, but I'm unaware of their colours so it's probably fine

Nice shooting :toast:

A real beauty Paul, I like everything about this shot & the brief story line to why they were hundled up like this.
