This was taken at Rainham marshes RSPB Reserve. I took a whole series of photos of this kestrel as I slowly walked nearer and nearer to the tall post it was perched on. This was the last shot before it flew off.
@thimblelady@happysnaps@nickspicsnz@foxes37 Thank you all for your lovely comments. Yes Lis I was very pleased with it (but not quite as pleased as I was with the kingfisher).
