[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of the highlights during my 3 day ringing session in Comino was this Kestrel. This juvenile Male was caught in the evening. The other was the rare Lesser Grey Shrike. Pics will follow in the following days.

Hi Matthew.
Another brilliant shot. The pose is fantastic as is the sharpness.
Well Done,
Nick :-)

The focus...it is so perfect right to the eyes. I like your crop. Gets to the point.
I will find one around here soon. I hope I can get it to turn out this well. TFS
Oh...you brought out the colour so fine.

Hi Matt,
This shot should have scored a hundred! Splendid portrait, with pin sharp detail and brilliant POV. Colours are fantastic. What Ilike most is the flash reflected in the kestrel's eye....beautiful indeed.
