Strange place for a kestrel to sit.

Love the little Boxer, but they do make a mess of grass.

 

 

It was a small sparrow hawk I think, it went on the floor afterwards. Looked like a black bird got killed.

 

Yeah they can really rip the grass up although it's not a big issue here. Most the time we board the access route but have had to do the same with hired Avants in the past as when loaded the front wheels bite in.

Nice looking job anyway (ps, it's a kestrel, honest)

To be fair I'm no expert, so your probably right. Mines a guess

As a twitcher, with a stuffed one in a glass cage, its a kestrel. It would not have taken a blackbird.

I know what you're saying dug, but you'd be suprised, technically they don't but if some thing sits on the ground long enough it might have a go, I've seen a kestrel take a swerve towards a squirrel seemingly just for laughs.

Cool, kestrel it is. Definitely a blackbird, I'll see if there's still a bit of Wing in the fork when I go back Wednesday.

Started a hedge removal, 7 trees done today and 5 truck loads of chips. 3 phone lines, power cable, carport, fences and some other obstacles for good measure. Reckon there will be 3 tractor and trailer loads of timber on the last day

They look fair things! Hope you not had far to go to tip chip off!

Not far, about a mile from our yard

That looks like a demoralising task. Glad it's not me as id of been crying by 10am.
