Posted on 19 January 2011 by David Smestow valley kestrel This kestrel landed on one of the conifers behind Compton lock to use it as a lookout spot just as I was walking past. Because of the slippery conditions underfoot, I had only brought out a moderate telephoto lens. Post navigationPrevious post: Snowscape – Smestow valleyNext post: Railway walk and meccano bridge
