Exceptional shots Ray, you could have straps draggin 3 feet behind this beauty and it would not make a difference to me Both impressive frames and the second is simply magnificent. Well seen and well captured Sir

More than just a bird this guy is Raymond. I struggle to get anywhere near one of these and I truly think they are beautiful little warriors. You have two wonderful shots with my preference for the second one, that is a lovely BG for this Kestrel and that is one nice sharp colorful shot sir

Amazing shots Ray. I would love to get a static Kes shot, let alone a flight shot, awesome. Verno

The only way I'd get shots like that is if he were stuffed. Woof.

Amazing how you capture not only the bird but the emotion of this bird as it passes by you.

Excellent job and great captures, Ray, especially the second one. I believe the first and third shots are posted with the wrong color space, though.
