Kestrel with a small bird at the beach in El Cotillo

September 10, 2020

A Kestrel landed a few metres from me with what looked like a small bird it had just caught at Los Lagos beach in El Cotillo. Fortunately my camera was out of the bag which is rarely the case when this kind of thing happens and I got some great photos.
