Seeing as how it's the first one I ever saw, it's definitely the cutest. He looks like a ..................... well.....................sweetie pie. Nice pose you caught him in and he looks as interested in you as you him. Good clarity. I like the way it looks Patti.

He / She is the most precious Patti-doll!! I luv these raptors...such grand markings 'n' colorings!! I like your fuzzy 'n' warm framing as it distracts from the sheet-metal backdrop which really isn't too bad to begin with.

Isn't he the sweetest! I love his big button eyes and colourings. The excellent clarity enables me to appreciate the details of his markings and feathers. Utterly adorable. + faves
obviously has not been in front of the camera as much as the adult kestral. This guys has to work on his deportment. I think he is giving you the eye..lol

Now he would eat Tweetie Pie for breakfast Patti. He does look cute but the clue is in the eyes.... he looks like he has some tasty rodent in his sights and is about to pounce.
Live simply. Speak kindly. Care deeply. Love generously. also, let's not forget-
What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters as compared to what lies within us...=D
Awwww- good-nness' just look at that face! Makes me giggle! Incredible clarity and I like the DOF you chose for the background, subtle. He's just precious :)

The bird is divine. And you call him Sweetie Pie? He looks like he would like to pluck my eyes out. A blurred background would have been ideal for this bird.

All Kestrels are beautiful Patti how dare you suggest otherwise !! ;o)
The plumage is very light for a British one, perhaps it's a juvenile, or a foreign import.
Thanx 4 sharing. :o)
