User's notes
This was a particularly nice sighting of one of our local Kestrels. The first two photos show the bird having alighted on a branch to eat prey (possibly an insect as per image 1, and evidently some grass came with it as per image 2). The third photo was taken as the Kestrel stayed on the branch for a considerable time. Then the fourth shows it taking off.
