RE: [CornwallWildlifePhotographyGroup] Re: Kestrel in Delia's Pics

Thanks Adrian, I realized what it had done once I saw them on the computer. At the time I first thought he was yawning, then about to be sick. It was the 9th one which fascinated me as he appears to have his tongue out.  Delia

Hi Delia,
a good set of photos. It looks to me like its coughing up a pellet. birds of prey do that regularly to get rid of fur, feathers and bones etc. If you look at image 7 you can see the bill in gape, then in image 8 there is a black pellet on the clifftop. The first time I watched a kingfisher do this I wondered what was happening as I thought it was choking or going into some kind of spasm.

Great set of pics, well done!

Adrian.

Apologies for the out of focus grasses masking some of the kestrel but I was too close to the cliff edge to do any gardening. This evening been watching 3 Peregrines but didn't have big lens!!
