    I watched this Kestrel for quite a few minutes. I think the swallows had him confused as they fly so erratically He almost caught one but it slipped away from him. It was quite fun.

    Wonderful, nicely caught - a nice composition.

    They do fly very erratically don't they.. and they're damned fast!!
