# SERIOUSLY?!?
I must resign from work immediately! I spent all day selecting the zoo's new postcards from my image database as well given it hasn't been done since the nineties, I felt kind of important, especially given I slipped in quite a few of my photos :)

# Kestrel?
I'm thinking Kestrel ( or sparrow hawk my head is major stressed today ) but if I'm wrong you have to forgive me seeing as I got the coatimundi in seconds ;)

# yes! In your face Attenborough!
I am blessed to live in an area which supports quite a few pairs of Kestrels.
We had a fox in the garden before Christmas and it was refreshing to see a big, healthy dog fox and not the mange-ridden skeletons I'm used to running over in Shepherd's Bush.

# The foxes my neck of the woods tend to be of the mange-ridden skeleton type
sad, pathetic looking creatures

# Fox, best animal ever!
Love them. Although a kestrel is certainly on the list.
