Confrontation ?
A day out in June photographing Common Kestrels. I had 2 adult and 3 young Kestrels show up.
Two Kestrels react as they meet on the post.
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.
