The pair showed up on 13th March & were checking out the nest - here's hoping..............
Have posted all I've taken today, unedited, as I'm so excited!!! They both flew off & now Mr Kestrel has returned to nest & sitting, waiting like a spider in the middle of a web! Just going to video him

doggie said:are you going to use one thread for posting through the season to keep them in one place so people can see how things progress?
That's a good idea, Alan, then we can follow them right through the breeding season.
Brilliant to see them both again, Wendy. I know I would be thrilled to bits to have a pair nesting on my doorstep. Cracking photos btw.

I wonder what was going on there. Perhaps he hasn't yet accepted her as his partner. Quite aggressive bahaviour.

She is the only one I've seen this year - there is usually a tussle over the nest & female between a couple of males but not this time it seems. The male has been visiting here since last year & has just taken the nest. Maybe we will have fights to come
Here is another rocky vid but am showing it because there is a lovely view of Mr Kestrel at the beginning...

Gosh ! what amazing video footage Wendy, wonder what happened there for him to react so nastily ? maybe it's not his girl but some other that rather fancies him ..... or did fancy him until he turned on her ! awwwww, poor girl.
