Seems to be Kestrel season! This time no dogs to scare off the quarry so I managed to get quite close...I guess he knew he was safe 1/2 way down a near vertical cliff. This was taken on an afternoon juant to Milford on Sea. Posted by Picasa

Went Looking for Orchids in the forest, but only found this rather handsom Kestrel. Taken with my 70 -300 lens and cropped...........I was hoping to get closer as he didnt seem to mind me but some dog walkers happened along at exactly the wrong moment ...despite Richard pleading with them to wait a bit the edogs charged straight ahead and frightened the bird off. Grrrrrrrrrrr!
Still I am pretty impressed with the shot I did get.
Didnt find any orchids tho!
