    Kestrel 2017-7

    Latest and probably last update for this year

    Popped back to the site hoping to get some more shots of the young in the nest early in the morning. However when I got there the nest was empty.

    They young had fledged in what seems a short time. Had a look round and found 2 perched on the roof of the building enjoying the warm weather.

    And then spotted another a bit further along

    Didn't see all four but not too surprised as there is plenty of places for them to roost.

    Local jackdaw has taken opportunity to check out the empty nest

    And had a family party of wrens flitting about in the bushes in front of me, never came out into the open but this youngster took a quick look at me.

              What everyone else has said. Great set, lovely to be able to monitor their progress. Our very own Springwatch

                  Thanks everyone. Walked past this morning and only one of the young was in sight. Most probable that over next few days adults will reduce/stop feeding them.
