Kestrel by rosiekind

Kestrel

This is one from Saturday as it is far too cold, windy and wet to step outside for a walk around the village. This is the kestrel that flew down on the ground when I was busy photographing the horses and he just caught my eye before flying off.

Thanks for getting yesterday's horse on PP and also for the suggestion of names for him. I think I will call him over using the names Flash or Blaze and see which one he prefers but that will have to be another day when it's not such awful weather.

I think I have finally made a decision about stopping work. I went in today and after I had managed to get near my desk due to other people's rubbish blocking my way, I had to move things as it was obstructing the fire door which is not far from my desk. I really have had enough now so have decided to give my notice at the end of the month with a view to finishing at the end of March which will work out OK with the end of the financial year. Aren't I thoughtful, making it easy for my employers!
Those are big decisions, sounds like a plan! Congratulations. This is a nice playful shot with his posture, great detail.

Rosie - what a loss to your work place (I shall keep stum). But for us - there will be no end to your wonderful images now. This well captured kestrel is quite intent on something.
