I'm not sure what the prey is she's eating on the wing, but the full sequence in my Kestrel album starts with a kestrel carrying a vole.
Camera note: all shots taken with the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

14 Jul 2008Neil, thanks. And congrats on the identification of the food. That seems to be waht it is. So I should really re-title the blog as 'First photo of a Bush Cricket' 😉
