Heron on the nest and Kestrel Displaying

A good days photography, commenced at Marazion Marshes here the Heron lifted off the nest briefly and I took the opportunity to grab a shot of the two chicks in the nest. Next up was the Wren which landed on the fence next to me as if I was invisible, got a couple of pictures before he departed. Off to Hayle then onto St Gothian Sands at Godrevy. A quick refuel for me BLT and a coffee I then had a wander around the wildlife area's. Spotted the Kestrel hovering and doing a circuit three times and finally got some acceptable images getting close enough, eventually. Click on the images to enlarge
