Sometimes it's just perfect to visit a place like this, Bob, isn't it! It's the only way of seeing these fabulous birds in close- up, and you can see the intelligence shining out of their eyes. Beautifully photographed!
Gorgeous portrait of this beautiful raptor, Bob! Obviously it was a little hot during your shooting, I assume that's the reason the kestrel lifts his wings... Have a great week with many pleasant encounters, Uwe.
Bellissimo questo falco con lo sguardo regale...talvolta li vedo in alcuni posti, ma volano alti e difficilmente riesco a fotografarli. Un abbraccio caro Bob
I am totally speechless....the detail is incredible.
I hope you don't mind that I want to add your link along with the other birders. If you wish to not have me add it, then let me know and I'll remove it. I'm SURE other avid birders will view this post with great awe.
