Another heavily overcast day, and I only had a short gap between meetings at lunchtime. Just enough time to head to the edge of the campus where I stopped by a small plot fenced off for future building work. It's lined by some light woodland; and seems to be home to a pair of kestrels. <\/p>\n

The light was dreadful and I cranked up to ISO 1000 and then 1250, under exposed to generate some semblance of shutter speed, and steadied the camera against the criss-cross wire fencing.
