Tern muncher

Digiscoping flying birds is not easy. This Kestrel made it easier for me though, by hovering. It was flying over the Little Tern colony at Great Yarmouth (the UK's largest), but eyeing up the brood of Ringed Plovers scuttling around underneath. I suspect the Terns may get a hammering this year...

Young Kestrel

This juvenile Kestrel allowed an exceptionally close approach. These shots are taken with just my Coolpix. Broom, 24th July 2008.
