Waiting on the Line – Limited Edition Fine Art Print, edition of 25
Captured in Yorkshire, September 2025. There is a quiet authority about a Kestrel. Unhurried and composed, it surveys the landscape with unwavering focus, every movement measured, every glance purposeful. Waiting on the Line was captured on open farmland between Leeds and Bradford, where rolling countryside meets Yorkshire’s industrial heritage. Ancient drystone walls and weathered Yorkstone buildings stand as enduring reminders of a landscape shaped by both nature and generations of people.
Photographed at the height of autumn, the surrounding woodlands glowed with burnished golds, russets and ochres. As the sun dipped towards the western horizon, its final rays illuminated the kestrel, enriching the warm chestnut tones of its finely marked plumage. Against the crisp chill of the late autumn afternoon, the light brought a fleeting warmth to both bird and landscape.
The stillness of this portrait is what makes it so compelling. Perched in quiet observation, the kestrel exudes confidence and majesty, a striking contrast to the extraordinary agility it displays in flight. Renowned for its effortless hover and silent, precise descent upon its prey, it perfectly balances patience with explosive action.
Waiting on the Line celebrates one of Britain’s most accomplished birds of prey, capturing not only its beauty but its remarkable ability to remain motionless, watching and waiting, before transforming in an instant into a master of the skies.

The choice of frame is a deeply personal one.

Its subtle, understated tone creates a refined border around the artwork, allowing the colours, textures and light within the photograph to take centre stage.
