Common Kestrel

ISO 2000 — 400 mm — ƒ9 — 1/1000 s

Canon R6 Mark III + RF 100–400 mm ƒ5.6–8 IS USM
A small kestrel perches on a bare tree branch, surrounded by a web of leafless twigs. The bird faces the camera, its light brown and gray feathers softly lit by warm sunlight. The background is a clear blue sky, and the branches frame the bird, creating a calm, late-afternoon woodland scene.
