The kestrel featured in a recent post started to fly as soon as I had been able to take one photo.
I thought I had disturbed it.
But all it did was fly to the middle of the field, and start to hover.
After a short while, it stooped. It flew off to perch in a more distant tree. As far as I could tell, it had caught something and wanted to eat.
These pictures are in reverse order: the lower on the page, the earlier.
