An Evening with Kestrels

[WorldInFocus]

Hi All,

Here are some pictures taken tonight of a group of Juvenile Kestrels I saw flying around the compound in Taif, Saudi Arabia. They were practicing their hunting skills and pestering the local pigeon population.

Plus not a good shot at all but the kestrel can be seen on the right of the picture flying past the local pigeon house, harassing the local residents.
