I'm jealous! I can never get close enough to a Kestrel but this is beautiful, sharp and very well edited!

This is a superb shot - Nat Geo quality! A very co-operative and docile kestrel - when I had the opportunity to capture a kestrel portrait it would not keep still and I wasted a dozen or more shots. I told you your pics would be brilliant.

One of my favorite birds. Your capture is excellent. A very illusive bird which is so difficult to capture. Congratulations.
