Hello - This is a rather rushed first post but after a long time with nothing happening on the kestrel nest we came in this morning to find our surprise that the first egg has been layed! Very exciting! So I have switched the web cam over for the time being!
We are still keeping an eye on the buzzard nest so if they do decide to use it we will switch over to them!
But for the time being happy viewing of the kestrels

Ps - As this has happened quickly the web cam caption will still be for the feeder for a few days until I get the web team to change it over!
She quickly returns and settles on the eggs again.
15.32 I have to go now and leave with Mrs settled on the eggs as before. Happy watching everyone:-)
Thanks Mims for your sterling service keeping us updated - only just been able to log on to find Mrs AK asleep on her eggs!

No webcam for me the last two days - problems again??
Just looked in - still no webcam. Please update us if you can. Are you swapping it to the buzzards? Or perhaps fixing the resolution problem? Fingers crossed whatever it is all is well soon.
Sorry folks. The camera stopped streaming to the web, probably after a power cut (we've had a couple over the last few days). We thought we'd fixed the problem this morning, but obviously that didn't work! Hopefully will be up and running in the next 15 minutes or so...
Hi Laura - thanks for that, cam is back...
Mrs AK diligently incubating - wonder if my one here is??
Good morning all:-)
Just looked in to see Mrs settling back down on the eggs.
Appx 13.00 Mrs gets up for a quick shuffle and we get a very brief glimpse of the eggs.
At appx 13.48 Mrs gets up and leaves. Within a few mins the male arrives, with something tasty in his beak - I need to look at the clip properly as it was so fast. He ate some of it by the eggs, then left again, taking it with him. A few mins later Mrs returned. I have cut the clip to save long waiting inbetween, the eggs were unattended for appx 3 mins each time.clip to follow.
