DON'T GET TOO CLOSE! RODENT-HUNTING KESTREL TAKES A CHANCE NEAR TETNEY TURBINE


As with other birds of prey such as osprey, buzzards and eagles, hunting kestrels sometime come a cropper if they get too close to the rotating blades of wind turbines. Their eyes are so focused on what is below them that they forget to look in front. Happily, this bird, hunting for field mice between Humberston and Tetney, kept a safe enough distance and came to no grief.
