Spotted this kestrel hovering beside a country road on the way to Chedworth Roman Villa in Gloucestershire, so obviously I had to pull over for a few photos.

Close-up of a kestrel perched on a falconer's black leather glove in Cheshire. The bird bends its head sharply downwards, revealing a large yellow-ringed eye and hooked beak. Its warm brown back and wings are intricately patterned with dark spots, while its long, barred tail extends diagonally towards the bottom right. The background is softly blurred in muted grey and brown tones.

Common Kestrel is very focused on the tasks. Time to Attack!

A female Common Kestrel in full flight, seen from below as it glides with its wings outstretched and heavily barred tail fanned wide against a clear blue sky. Warm, low-angle sunlight strikes the underside of its left wing and tail feathers, creating a vibrant golden-orange glow through the barred flight feathers. The falcon tilts slightly toward the viewer with its head focused forward. A vertical watermark reading "milvus.me" is visible along the lower right edge.

A Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), perched high above the landscape of Consdorf, Luxembourg. Sitting on a bare branch, it calmly watches its surroundings, always ready to spring into action at the first sign of prey. I love the simplicity of this image. The Kestrel’s elegant shape, sharp gaze, and the clean, uncluttered background really make the bird stand out.

A Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), beautifully captured in flight above Consdorf, Luxembourg, with its prey firmly held in its talons. The Common Kestrel is best known as a hunter of small mammals, such as mice and voles. This photo beautifully captures the moment as the bird carries its prey through the air. A remarkable moment: the elegant flight of the Kestrel combined with the raw and untamed side of nature.

Vas passejant escoltes un cant estrident que et sona familiar, mires d'on ve i allí està una femella de Xoriguer.

Fixeu-vos bé en les senyals de trànsit que algunes tenen xoriguers que et miren molt malament. Un mascle en este cas.

Durant l'hivern les poblacions de xoriguer disperses pels camps d'arròs augmenten i és molt fàcil trobar-se diversos exemplars en qualsevol passeig.

He vist xoriguers posats en cables de la llum, cases, senyals, postes i arbres, però en antics molins de vent encara no.

Good morning Y'all. I hope you all survived Christmas.
Every year is a year of a specific bird... The Dutch have chosen the #CommonKestrel as their bird of the year in 2025, a great choice if you ask me.
