I was just out for a short drive when I spotted this kestrel hunting along the hillside by the side of the road,above Duns in the Scottish Borders.There were actually 4 of them hanging in the breeze at various points and working their way,back and forward, over the rough grass and bracken.None of them came quite close enough but here are some of the images from this encounter.

About Phil Mclean
Hi, my name is Phil Mclean.
I'm a nature photographer living in Berwickshire,in the Scottish Borders.I enjoy photographing all aspects of nature,from the birds and the bees,to the mammals and the trees.
I just love being out in the countryside whenever possible and preferably with a camera.
Although I do make it difficult for myself,as I'm normally accompanied by my photographic assistant, Ollie,my springer spaniel dog.
I hope you'll enjoy the pictures that I post and if you have the time and the inclination,please leave a comment.
Thanks.
