Australian Kestrel

Another name is Nankeen Kestrel.

We went to a small Raptor Flight Show which was fantastic!

Seems like a very proud bird. That first shot with him "standing tall" and chest all puffed out is very cool.

lovely set - love the sharpness.

I'm with marko..nice clear crisp shots!

Thanks Iggy, Marko and Kat.

She is a beautiful bird for sure.

Beautiful detail MA, and what do the males look like, lots of colour as ours are, or not?

Well I thought this was a male myself, but I'm sure I heard the handler say she was female. Looking in my book there doesn't appear to be much difference other the male being a bit darker.
