This is a killer image, Graham (pun intended). Probably my favourite of all the images that you've posted. An excellent piece of work.

A recent project has required me to review a whole stack of stuff from the past couple of years, and sometimes, it's amazing what you find :smile:

Thanks everyone - feedback much appreciated as always :wavey:

You know what I think about these kestrel shots of yours and I hope this is one you will be using, although the other two I saw were outstanding. I think you said it was. It has it all for a nature shot, movement, comp, environment, behaviour. Cracking.
