Another amazing Kestrel shot! How wonderful to be witnessing these birds that are in decline in most places.

My favourite of your recent Kestrel images, Axel. A stunning "pose", recorded here.

These birds are so fast it's impressive that you caught this moment. We are lucky that we have many kestrels here where I live and we have put up nesting boxes to encourage them to produce more chicks.
