The juveniles were busy in the garden again this morning. Its costing too much in bird food though!!!

A short spell at Par again this evening and before we even got there I had some excitement. I spotted a Juvenile Kestrel on a pole right by the lights at the entrance to the docks. I get so frustrated when the Abbot won’t stop the car immediately though :- ) Whoops! All's well that ends well. It then flew onto a roof and stayed for a photo shoot!
