Kestrels are a very beautiful. 
There is a nesting pair of kestrels around my area...hear them every morning and every evening and just before sunset.  I love watching them fly around.

Europeans are known for cool and artistic, yet disturbing, sorts of films.  Maybe the kestrels are following true.

ach.  soon I will have to only have black and white on my screen?  especially from the Netherlands.

I'm cool, but perhaps not with enough angst.
