Great shots.

Thanks John. He was more willing to sit there than most of these guys.

Yeah they are either streaking across the sky or on a wire or utility pole! But even on a wire they are 2 really nice shots Ian.

Thanks much Craig. I missed three or four on the same road that took off as I approached.

Wire or not, they sure are cute! And yes, cute fits this bird in my opinion!

They sure are, thanks Sandy.

Well done Ian and yes they are hard to find and photograph on anything but wires.

Thank you John.

Beautiful shots of this bird. The first one is my favorite and I don't mind the wire at all. The bird is just beautiful!

Thanks Carol, one of my faves when it comes to colours and cuteness.

Yup, kestrels are still very elusive to me. A few times I saw them, they were so far away that they might as well be in the next zip code.
You did well, Ian.

Thanks Linh, that's what I'm used to too.

Now a real talented PP'er could clone out the wire and replace it w/ an attractive pine bough. Not me, of course, but somebody Excellent shots, Buddy!

I don't know anybody by that description, Rog......but thanks!
