Kestrel With His Catch

Another rare sighting for me, today - a kestrel dropping down from an overhead wire to some long grasses below and re-emerging with his catch which he proceeded to devour!

I woke to frost this morning and decidedly low temperatures but the sun had warmed things up a bit by the afternoon. I had a really lovely walk by the river. The kestrel kept me and my camera well entertained but I also saw a little grebe, cormorants, lots of small garden birds and a whole tree-ful of pied wagtails! And a kingfisher did a flyby. Happy days :)

Huge thanks for sharing my enthusiasm over yesterday's 'Not one kingfisher, but three!', even though the photos are really only 'record' shots!
