Kestrel156 viewsI disturbed this Kestrel, which was at the side of the path @ Marton Mere nature reserve Blackpool, feeding on a dead Blackbird, the Kestrel took flight with the Blackbird hanging from it's talons, but it must have been too heavy for it as it dropped it, then perched nearby waiting for me to leave. It wouldn't return whilst I was in the vicinity so the best photo I managed was this one - taken through the branches of a bush. :-(
