Buh Bye
If I had an arch enemy, would it be the kestrel? Maybe. These tiny raptors are always on the move in search of prey and when they see me coming, they get the hell outta dodge. I have yet to get a close-up of one, but the fact that this one's face ended up relatively sharp means it's a moral victory. Hooray!
