Kestrel

The day started overcast and with steady rain but by late morning the sun was breaking through and by early afternoon clear blue skies. The Great Grey Shrike was around Wraggs Quarry and still parties of Waxwing in Darley Dale.
 I watched a shooting party on East Moor which didn't look to be having much success they disturbed very few grouse but did put up a Short-eared Owl several times as they crossed the moor. 
This female Kestrel was on the edge of the moor which was more intent on finding its next meal than my photography.
