Today, at lunchtime, I was lucky enough to spot this very handsome nankeen kestrel, not far from my office.

I've been noticing it around a while, but this was the first time I've got close enough to get some decent shots.

And just yesterday, I went back to the tree where I saw the hobbies, and, sure enough, they were back there again.

It was great to watch them swoop and chase each other.

It's hard to match a raptor for majestic beauty.

Yes, they're very fine looking birds. And actually quite common around here, if you know here to look.

They are! I hope I might be able to go back later in the week for another look at those hobbies, now that I know where they live...

Wow, he's absolutely posing for you! He's ready for his closeup!

What a handsome guy--and what great pictures!

He really was very handsome. I'm not sure if he wasn't trying to make himself look tough to scare me off, but it didn't succeed if he was...
