Didn't see the lizards, though.<br /><br />I like the kestrel pic., but on bird forum people seem to like the yellow wagtail better. Got more thumbs up responses. Good to know that its prey was a lizard. Well, good to know WHAT it was but lizards are so rare it seems a pity they have to be in the food chain!!<br /><br />Thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Phil.Phil Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330719035764731004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297746945549242887.post-64403014909768884452009-04-23T21:45:00.000+01:002009-04-23T21:45:00.000+01:00I must add that the Kestrel picture is stunning!!!...I must add that the Kestrel picture is stunning!!!

Someone I'd met there a couple of times before, got the Kestrel on the post as well; I'd wandered off just before it arrived - always they way and met up with him not long after that! Apparently it was eating a Lizard (the Kestrel not the guy). We'd seen about 6 lizards in one spot earlier on but in a different place altogether!Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297746945549242887.post-3355168320340041252009-04-21T18:16:00.000+01:002009-04-21T18:16:00.000+01:00Thank you, Billy.

You're very kind, but with the kestrel it was pure luck that I was there just at that moment. <br /><br />I, too, like the shot which is completely uncropped. In fact, after taking a few shots, I realised I was too close for the 1.4x converter. I was in the process of taking it off when he flew away.<br /><br />As for the mystery face...well.. you'll have to wait until next week. ;-)Phil Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18330719035764731004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1297746945549242887.post-80494673577716729702009-04-21T16:58:00.000+01:002009-04-21T16:58:00.000+01:00Well done Phil, you are an amazing photographer, t...Well done Phil, you are an amazing photographer, the Kestrel left me with the word 'how'!? <br /><br />Billy<br /><br />p.s- the mystery bird couldn't be a Swan, could it? ;)Billy Dykeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840933193238325733noreply@blogger.com
