Hi everyone,
How are you?
Over the last week the kestrels up at the Kingfisher hide have been showing off amazingly! Andy, one of our Roving Reserve Guides, even told me that over the weekend of Friday 15, Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 June the kestrels were even out shining the kingfishers!
Over the weekend the 5 young kestrels in the box were showing off nicely, and were lookinglike they might fledging soon!
Have a look at these lovely pictures by Geoff Harries -
Can you see the five babies peaking out?
Feeding time!
In this picture one of the babies is stretching its wings... Fledging time soon?
Keep your eyes out!
Hi Louise,
I was there on Tuesday and I am pretty sure that one of them fledged. One of the adults flew in with food and one of the young took it and flew over to the adjacent dead tree. I say 'flew' - it actually more or less crashed into it and then dropped down, branch by branch. I didn't see it fly back up to the Box.
But Andy was right, they gave a wonderful display for the couple of hours I was there.....
