Oh cool, you got a Kestrel. I taped the American Kestrel in our back yard...not the greatest capture but was very surprised to find a Falcon in our backyard. I seen him hover the day before I taped him. My best footage is of the Redtail Hawk and Coppers Hawk.
My tripod is only a stills camera type which is unsuitable for quick panning and tilt shots because it sticks and binds up. Now got a fluid-head film tripod on my wish list.
Great footage. Where I used to work there were a pair of Kestrel's who I could observe at least a couple of times a week but I've moved on since and I miss watching them :(
I remember observing a Kestrel once in very high winds and I could not get over how they could still manage to hover in the air with such ease.
very good : -).....it's closer than I expected from what you said.......must've be a nightmare trying to keep up with it as it changed direction, while you were zoomed in!!!
This is again beautiful.. whats the music playing over the vid.

Many thanks.
The music is by English composer Ralph Vaughn Williams from his 5th Symphony.

Vaughn William's other compositions are also well worth listening to.
