This shy gal loves her privacy and simply enjoys the bay breeze and watching raptors hover and hunt in the grass.

While there I saw a bird hovering over the grass in one of those freaky motion stabilization ways they do, like they’re on a gyroscope. I’m sure Freethy was enjoying watching the same. It looked something like this.

Just look at that head stabilisation! Male kestrel hunting at South Stack, Anglesey yesterday.

Not much else to say beyond just keep building cool stuff like this.
