Kestrel (tinnunculus)

Taking Shelter.I spent 2 hours in the presence of this wonderful female Kestrel who was quite willing to let me take snaps. It was a privilege to be able to see natural beahaviour of the creature. Its been raining pretty heavily up here and this female was on the ground for at least an hour taking worms and grubs to supplement her diet. About 3 minuets before an horrendous downpour she took shelter under a rock right opposite me. No hides no baits just natural behaviour with me sat quietly in my car. Highlight of my Holiday photographically speaking.
