Kestrels in the Quarry 2019... Just in time for Xmas!!

After all this time a visit from a male Kestrel but just not sure that it's our Mr K ... what say you?

Somewhat dishevelled, looks a bit bare around the belly,  maybe moulting?

Agree the extremely sun-drenched image makes such a difference, completely forgot to alter settings in the haste to get some footage & just as well as he didn't stop long!
My thoughts exactly on use of favourite TP!
Was so good to have a visit after more than five weeks absence ... whoever it was!

Oooohhhhh how exciting Wendy. A visit from a Kestrel, now as Alan said and you thought, what would be the chances of another coming to Mr K's pole? I know the sunlight will make the pictures look different but I am going to say that it is NOT Mr. K. I have also looked back and this fellows face does not have the two dark teardrops on the face and not that I am an expert in Kestrels but I think it looks like a young one. Still boootiful Mr K or not!

Missed this Wendy, well exciting and yes of course it could be Mr K and moulting making all the difference. No teardrops I agree with CLady but you just wait and see, will he return and we will get more photos to compare.

You're just going to have to shin up the pole and pop a ring on his leg so you can identify him properly next time!

He'll only poo on my head whilst I 'shinned' then he'll laugh & fly off just as I get within reach! Lol

Mr K or not, bad feather day or not ……. he's gorgeous lol I will try and keep up with events as they unfold !

Hi aitch, hope all is going well, will you have to wait long for internet in your interim rented place?
ITM, two visits yesterday from ??? whoever, still can't tell for sure!

Short vid as he didn't stay long on either visit

Hahahahahahahaha D ... they all seem to do that here in the quarry! Lol
