    Hi:

    In this picture we could see 4 Common Krestel trying to eat a bird that I can't figure out which is, but they didn't realize that he's falling down (look at the botton of the frame to find it). I supose that's family matters.

    Bye,

    Oh man! Very good action there! But with a background like that, which happens to be of the same color range of the kestrels, it takes some effort to see the birds well. I wonder if there's anything to do to separate the kestrels from the background more. Also wish more light in the shadow areas. Still, not something you see everyday I suppose.

    Hi Desmond:

    Thank for the critique, I wish I could have a better emplacement to take the picture to blur the BG, but I can't find any. I've seen similar fights 4 or 5 times during the last two weekends. It seems like the chicks still are used to receive food from the male Krestel, although they have grew up enough to find their own food.

    Cheers,

    I think this is a situation you can't do much for ... Just sit and enjoy !!!

    Great action and from your position did the best possible !!! Vale !!! btw sometimes when I come up with something like this I just wait and see what develops Maybe on will take off and I can grab in flight, isolating a single bird etc!!!

    ... Desmond ... nice avatar !!! :)

    Thanks Alfred. I like also sit down and look when these Krestel behave like that you'll never know what's going to happen.
