This Kestrel was photographed at Colwick Country Park in Nottingham by Paul Shaw. During the summer months you'll frequently see Kestrels hovering over grassland, surveying the ground for vice and voles. But at this time of year there are less prey items to be found so they save energy by watching the ground from leafless trees. Paul used a Nikon D7000 with a 500mm F4 lens.

It amazes me how they know to conserve their energy due to a shortage of food...

I was coming home from Marbury the other day and just as I drove down the hollow, a Buzzard flew over the top of my car - was only about three foot off the car roof - stunning x
