Dust-Bath! :-)

[Zest]

Hi everyone,

We enjoyed a cliff-path walk last night, and along the path we spotted a bird enjoying a dust-bath - I think it was a bird of prey, and he/she was having a wonderful time - we watched for a while, and I got this photo.

Wow that’s beautiful Zest Im very impressed with the Kestrel? photo he’s spotted you that’s for sure. 🌈😊

Hi Hidden

I must admit, I had called this bird a kestrel in the past, but I now wonder if it's a peregrin falcon - I must admit I'm not sure when it comes to birds of prey - hence I hedged my bets and said 'bird of prey' this time.

Lovely to see him/her enjoying the dust-bath.

Wow, beautiful photo Zest and amazing catching a bird of prey having a dust bath. I've just shown your photo to my hubby and we weren't sure if it was a Kestrel or not. Whatever it was you did well to capture it.

Hi Alicia,

I was thrilled to see it. I also thought it was a Kestrel, but wasn't entirely sure.

Beautiful I love the sea and rocks. Do you get good sunsets there Zest?

[Zest Administrator in reply to Agoodenough]

Hi Ali,

Yes, there are great sunsets, and probably really vibrant ones on the West coast - near a bay called Cobo Bay - I think that's where I like the sunsets most - but I'd have to drive over there to see them - too far to walk.

I bet they are lovely. I love sunsets 🌅

[Zest Administrator in reply to Agoodenough]

I will make the effort to go over there one evening, and take a photo to share for you.

[Agoodenough Administrator in reply to Zest]

I would love that if you would x

[Zest Administrator in reply to Agoodenough]

It would be a pleasure, because then I could enjoy a brilliant sun-set and change of scenery!

[Agoodenough Administrator in reply to Zest]

That’s great. I will look forward to that x

Mrs Feathers bathing!

It's that split second of surprise, realising she's been spotted... You caught it!

Lovely, well done.

I can understand the dust bath, I'm looking to stand in the path of the garden hose on a mist setting!!!!

Phew it's hot!!!!

I am sweating buckets today!
