This female let me creep-up to her to take some shots before she had enough and flew off :)

Excellent shot Alan, I too have not seen one sit like that. Most of the ones I see are in treetops far away. :)

Sweet shot, Alan! I like Kestrels a lot and really appreciate great shots like this one, well done :)

Btw, she looks a bit like a Mourning Dove in disguise, don't you think?

Beautiful capture here full of detail and nicely exposed. It would be a killer if it was on a branch or on a nest.
