Kestrel finishing lunch!

Here is one of a kestrel finishing up a meal, note the feathers in her beak! The bird she ate must have been as big as her judging by the claw left!

My favourite little falcon John. Small but gutsy.

SHE certainly was chowing down - nice shot!

Nice capture!

Thanks JoeF.N., WingsofFury and momtothefurmonsters! And thanks WingsofFury for pointing out it was a she instead of a he! Changes made! John

I absolutely love Kestrels. I live where they are all over the place. I rarely see them anywhere but powerlines though, which makes it hard for a natural background. I got a shot the other day of one with a mouse, but with the overcast sky, it wasn't a very good shot. I didn't know they ate birds too.

yes they eat birds.....they are also known as "sparrowhawks"

One little falcon that I have only dreamed of...
