Congratulations to Howard Kearley for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 3 votes - View Previous Winners

Short eared Owl putting in the work finding its supper, only for the feisty Kestrel to pull off the robbery

I had to handhold to get these because of the position I was in, not perfect but pleased I was able to capture.

Enjoy.

I think you did extremely well with these, all are excellent. How audacious the kestrel is, and acrobatic. I've never seen that side of them.

Ok, I don't like saying this as it feels too Facebookish, but OMG!

What an amazing sequence you captured Howard! Wow! I have never seen this between these two species before.
What a treat to have been able to witness this let alone capture it all on camera.

Outstanding!

Voted!

Fantastic set, Howard. Probably why us Americans haven't seen a kestrel do this is because our kestrel is much smaller than yours. About 6 inches smaller than a Shortie. What a thrill to see and capture.

I once got a series of two Bald Eagles mating and thought that was cool, but this certainly trumps that!
