Info from Licensor: "A video of a female common kestrel using the strong winds coming in from the sea along the Cornish coast to hover. Allowing it to stay perfectly in place while hunting, giving it a more stable view while searching for prey.
I had seen this particular kestrel at this location before and so I headed down when the wind had picked up a little bit to see if she would come back. While sat their I realised she kept doing the same route and so I positioned myself at a spot where could be almost level with her as she hovered in front of me! This resulted in a piece of footage that perfectly showed off just how still these birds can be while hovering. Credit: Ig: @jjrheams.photography"
