Yesterday I was lucky to catch a pair of Kestrels out in the cold. Luckily the one was using the same perch over and over to go down and catch some bugs for lunch.

Great set Dave. I really like images 2, 4 and 5. The ones with bugs! American Kestrels are on my bucket list, until then I will enjoy yours.

Very nicely done Dave, what a terrific set of images. Not easy to get close enough to get shots like these.

Nice set, Dave. The browns in the BG really compliment the colors of the bird. Well done.

I am envious of this encounter Dave. Truly a beautiful bird and rather elusive for me in my area. What a great perch and perfect BG and to have the Kestrel repeat and repeat is dream of a shooting experience

Great images, each of them
