Peregrine (Explored 4 October 2017)
A very vocal Peregrine over Wembury Point last week
Buzzard
A low flyby over my garden last week before the rain came!
Kestrel (Explored 8 November 2016)
Taken at the same location and time as the Goldfinch flock, some lovely evening light making it’s wings glow. Hoped to get a little closer but spooked the Goldfinches in the attempt!!

Sentry duty
The same bird as my previous post, taken out on the Moors
Kestrel
Taken at Fernworthy Reservoir yesterday. A great site with two hides by the water, well worth a visit.
Sitting in the rain
A Buzzard in the rain at Saltram House, Plymouth last Friday
Dartmoor Kestrel
I’ve seen this bird before hovering and hunting in Merrivale near LIttle Mis Tor and managed to get close enough for a few half decent shots on Christmas Eve. Planning to get back and find him/her again.
Wishing everyone a Happy 2016.
Dartmoor Kestrel hovering
The same bird as yesterday’s post, this time hovering, showing very tatty tail feathers.
Buzzard
A low flyby over my house last week.
Hobby
I was standing in my garden shooting Swallows and Martins when this appeared, at first I thought it was a Sparrowhawk and until I reviewed the image I didn’t realise it was in fact a Hobby. Pleased to get a half decent shot of him.
Red Kite
A lovely surprise to see this gorgeous bird at close quarters over the Lyd valley yesterday, a rare sight in Devon skies.
Buzzard
Hoping to get a closer in-flight shot of this Buzzard, but this was the best I could do! Back out again soon to hunt them down on the Moors.
Flyby
A Buzzard over my garden with a little out-of-focus friend in the background, a House Martin I think.
