Kestrel Dropping In - a photo on Flickriver

            A trip to Worcestershire mid April to hopefully photograph a Kestrel.

Was not expecting much but turned out quite a good day despite very cold Northerly winds and sunny intervals.

A Kestrel drops in to land on the fallen branch.

The Common Kestrel is a relatively small bird of prey reaching 32-35cm in length with a wing span measuring up to 80cm. In the UK, it is usually just referred to as the Kestrel, as it is the only kestrel species found in the UK. It is also known as the Windhover.

The Kestrel is the second most numerous bird of prey in the UK after the Buzzard, and is a familiar sight hovering beside roads and motorways or the edges of woodland as it searches for prey.
