Had the most awesome day at Claire Carter and Hawkeye Bird of Prey Photography Workshop in Thoresby Park. A privilege to get close to such beautiful birds and I learned such a lot about bird photography that I hope I can put in to practice in future. My photos (just a few here out of 100s I took today) are pale imitations of what is achievable but I'm happy with (some of) my efforts with limited kit.

I lost the sweet light on this guy and it was in the shade. There were three of them and they were sharing a kill. I believe it's a Kestrel.
Caracara plancus - The Southern Caracara can look a bit like a large chicken from a distance as it struts along the ground and frequently feeds there. It has long yellow legs and a bushy black crest. It also has a red cere which apparently turns yellow when the bird is excited. In flight from below it shows conspicuous white patches on its outer primaries.
What started off as a missing piece of glass in a technician’s study room at Aston University, has since become the nesting place for several generations of kestrels over an estimated 30 year period.
Working with the RSPB, The Wildlife Trust, and the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), this year’s chicks have now been ringed for identification purposes – to monitor their movements and contribute to conservation research .
A web cam has been installed in the kestrels' nest: bit.ly/astonkestrels
