Jul. 7th, 2002 10:09 amdriving home yesterday from Backwell, we stopped at a T junction, to see a kestrel hovering about fifteen feet away from us. She was close to the ground - only a few feet - and thankfully there was nobody behind us, so we could stop and watch her.
she hovered for a few moments, then stooped and immediately rose again, coming to rest on a fence with her prey. People who know me will know that I have a particular fondness for kestrels, and that's the closest I've ever seen on in the wild. A glorious sight, one to lift the heart.
