Back in January of this year i was doing a work experience placement at Lakeside country park in Eastleigh. While there, among other things i observed a resident female kestrel, i nicknamed Betty. In this photograph she is sat on the roof of the tool shed watching the undergrowth for small mammals, waiting for her chance to pounce.
Out for a walk geocaching with the family me and my girlfriend spotted movement. Once i realised it was a kestrel i took my time walking slowly up to it, taking photo with each step so as to get as close and as detailed shot as possible. I was pretty chuffed with the results :).
