Field Notes

Description:

This Kestrel is fighting with the family of crows to fill the nest... because of this, the bird missed the landing...
In some countries, this bird is protected by law; because of habitat loss and pesticide use in agriculture, their number is more small.

DanielePralon, many thanks, but I'm sorry, I do not manage... sit first image by dragging, but after giving "Save changes", is still in last place:(

It looks like he is about to fall!

The last picture is really fantastic Doina! You can still have it as your first picture: if you go into Edit this spotting, you can reorganize pictures by dragging them across.

Lovely series Doina!

CourtneyVerk, thanks a lot for your visiting! ....This kestrel lives in a wild area, away from city....:)

Stunning photos! There are many Kestrels living in the downtown core of Toronto - where I live. It's bittersweet to spot them on top of tall buildings in the city.

Thanks a lot for your appreciation, Noe and Pili!

Great series! The last picture is breathtaking!

Elsa, thank you very much!

Beautiful pictures!!

Emma, many thanks for visiting! The scene was a little comic, but, I understand as a bird (the crow) -can fight more vigorously to defend the nest !!....However...the kestrel won this time:)

SatyenMehta, thank you very much for appreciation!

There must be a lot of judgement involved,more than we humans think,in the landing.

Lovely series.

Atul, in the last picture is "the landing missing" was about talking:)....thereafter,he returned and was placed on top of a branch..:)

beautifully captured pics of a lovely bird !!last pic is superb wonder what was it upto?? thanks for sharing.

ctsetan -...is true...unfortunately, sometimes, the human being is the biggest enemy of the trophic chain...thanks a lot for visiting!

AnjaliAnantharam, thank you!
