Beautiful shots!!! The Kestrel is one of my favorite birds.

I'm usually all about peregrines, but these guys always intrigue me...the colors on them are great...

Excellent. I especially like the last two. Nice to see he 'broke the rules' for you.

Thanks...probably won't happen again for years :)

Great shot. I have never gotten such a sharp image of one. They are defiantly tricky.
