KESTREL or WINDHOVER

 Another wildlife adventure from Jo's trail camera: 

This female kestrel caught a vole in her yellow talons.  

" Is somebody spying on me?"

She hid the prey in the honeysuckle on the wall and came back for it later - presumably when she thought the peeping tom was away.

Kestrels are the falcons you sometimes see hovering over the motorway verge, hunting for voles.  The female has a brownish head while the male's head is grey.
