It's mine, you cannot have any

Nankeen Kestrel was hunting in the carpark below my balcony this morning as I got ready for work. I've decided I'll have a later start today.
I used to curse the lightpoles for blocking the view, but now they have become a wonderful posing pedestal for the resident kestrels
gorgeous, great that you don't have to travel from your house to see this!!

Embrace the lightpoles! Awesome shot! Can you tell what he's snacking on?
September 2nd, 2011  
Awesome shot, look forward to more. :)

Very cool. Good contrast between nature and technology, too.

That grasshopper looks so big! Fantastic shot Megan.

@jenrobcarr I am gong to miss this view when I finish up here
@renelou thanks - I am surprised at how much I enjoy watching the daily lives of these birds
@timandelke the lightpole has become a character in my photos. I think it was alargish locust which he was munching on
@hagscat thanks I hope ther ewill be plenty more to come too
@zram49 I love contrasting nature and technology, I have done some sunsets through steel grids of cranes and heaving lifting equipment in the past
@bella_ss I thought it looked big too, the kestrels are smallish birds of prey, but it still a large locust/grasshopper
@alia_801 I shot a couple of dozen shots but this beak open one really appealed to me, really looked like he was expressing himself

Wow! Great capture - and that is a HUGE grasshopper!

@cglist thanks, the kestrel seemed happy with himself
September 2nd, 2011  
Wow, fabulous capture, so interesting to see him with his meal in hand, but poor grasshopper.
September 2nd, 2011  
wow, that's a big snack! very cool capture! the kestrel is very proud of his catch!
September 2nd, 2011  
Very cool catch
September 2nd, 2011  
Yep, I knew there'd be a pretty serious looking bird of prey before too long. coolshot, thanks to the street lighting.
