It is very scarce and elusive here in the NW of the UK and so a much prized find for birders. It is difficult to get images, they are so fast.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-90242439411864190942011-09-11T10:11:06.869+01:002011-09-11T10:11:06.869+01:00Lovely series of birds and photos, Phil.

But then, that wouldn't explain the superb images of the Kestrel and Mute Swans. This has been a great birding and blogging day for you, Phil.
