    Kestrels

    Part of Wednesdays trip was to Parkgate for a spring high tide which forces all the birds close to shore.

    Witnessed something we'd not seen before, a pair of kestrels mid-air courtship. Lots of calling and swooping round each other. Sadly light wasn't too good as quite overcast so not best images.

                  To capture those was something wonderful for you and us.
