    I like the intense concentration as this Kestrel is about to land the perch is what it is.... especially with birds of prey they are in control.:D

    Great wing position and a really focused stare by the bird.

    Jim, just love the warm colours here, and excellent timing to capture the second before touch down. Good to see the full wingspread.

    I prefer this one to your previous...lots more interest! I just wish for the eye and its socket to be better lit by the sunlight.
