Post by: Chocky on May 21, 2013, 09:44:18 PM

I always find some thing magical abourt a Kesstrel when it is hovering.
I know he is looking for food but there is some thing else there too for me
Here is a Male European Kestrel

Beryl, as usual I am in awe. You manage such beautiful captures. The kestrel is definitely a regal looking bird.
