The focused falcon
I realize that in these dire times I am truly blessed with having a lot of wildlife around my house and while obeying the rules set upon us by the Dutch government to stay at home, I can still go out photographing without meeting other people.
And with spring just around the corner, also my favorite Kestrel couple returned to the nest!! Spent a few days in my little hide to take shots of the male courting the female. Hopefully they'll have a successful nest as last year they broke up before they had any chicks.
Therefore.. although they don't seem to notice me sneaking up to the hide, I'll leave them alone until the female is well and truly nesting to not interrupt their courting. Who needs onlookers when you try to persuade a lovely lady to become the mother of your children! :-)
Hopefully will be continued!
Stay safe everyone!!
