The Stoats & the Kestrel

On the day I was to leave for Wales I received a phone call that a family of Stoats was playing in a friends garden.

I rushed over there only to see them disappear into the hedge and sadly they are not being seen regularly anymore.

I waited for about half an hour before rushing off for the ferry but while I was there this Kestrel was busy hunting all around and landed on a sign post to eat a vole. I was set up a hide for the stoats and too far away for any close shots but I do like these two. In the shot above you can see the poor vole dangling down on the post.

After finishing off the vole the Kestrel dropped down onto this wall and sat there for about 10 minutes.
