Spotted again! Lenny the Kestrel after the Local Neighbourhood of St Leonards. What do you think of the name as suggested in the post below?

Suburban Kestrel!

Not too bothered by people

I am thinking of naming him Leonard after the local neighbourhood!

Maybe the informal Lenny the kestrel would be better. What do you think?

The Kestrel was back looking for dinner. He didn't seem that bothered by park users.

A group of us pulled this rubbish out of the woods today. It has been reported to the council.

Big shout out to those who braved the weather yesterday to litter pick Lammermoor Park. If you live near Lammermoor which is adjacent to Calderglen Country Park you may want to help in future efforts. Their contact details are in the comments below
