Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) with Prey – Abberton Reservoir

A striking autumn scene showing a Common Kestrel perched on a wooden post at Abberton Reservoir, clutching its prey. Warm evening light and deep red foliage bring a dramatic, almost painterly feel to this intimate moment in the kestrel’s hunt. A beautiful combination of raptor behaviour, seasonal colour, and natural storytelling — captured at one of Essex’s most iconic wildlife reserves.

Perfect for wildlife enthusiasts, bird of prey prints, and nature wall art.
