    Female Kestrel in Flight

    The lady of a local nesting pair swooping down to return to the nest box where they successfully raised 4 chicks this year. She did most of the work as I only ever saw the male circling high in the sky above the nest on the numerous visits I made.
    Have a few more to post in due course.
