It was quite high, but worth a quick photo. Although they fly overhead quite frequently, it&#39;s less usual to see them so obviously in hunting mode over the gardens. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/kestrel_1106097249.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">Kestrel<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Later, the Bold vixen came by and discovered a small egg (pigeon?) that had appeared on the ground. It had already been broken into so she sniffed and eventually left it be. I may have more about how the egg got there on the trail cam (I don&#39;t think it was there when I set the camera up, and it should be in view). That&#39;ll have to wait until tomorrow. <br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/fox_bold_vixen_1106097281.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">Vixen with small egg<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I also finally got a shot I&#39;ve been after for some time now. She has a habit of exiting the garden over the garage roof, and clearly is unperturbed by the steep drop on the far side. Until tonight she&#39;s been rather too nimble for me to capture a decent shot of her up there, but I was semi-prepared this time and had moved around to get a good line if she did decide to go out that way.<br \/><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/fox_bold_vixen_1106097305.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">Rooftop vixen<\/span><br \/><span class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/natureblognetwork.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/natureblognetwork.com\/button.php?u=Words\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" alt=\"Nature Blog Network\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/span><br \/><i>Camera note: the kestrel was photographed with the EF 100-400mm f\/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.
