Two New Year Wishes ... firstly that Mr K visits tomorrow to start our year off right!
... secondly that a beautiful female appears to sweep Mr K off his feet & into that nest hole!

Lot to learn
More lovely weather yesterday saw Mr K back for two visits ... starting off with prey in nest hole
Then more prey on cliff ledge
I would not like to be the rat that got caught in that claws, no escape! Was away to make my dinner but think I will wait a bit after all that fur, intestines and runny poop! Lovely to see Mr K by the way Wendy, looks like you had lovely weather today.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Thought I might see him today as the stormy weather was raging ... that nest hole makes a welcome refuge!!
Look at that crop ..........
............ no surprise that he couldn't finish it
Sorry I mucked up vid header ... expect you can work out what I meant??
No food today to query over, just Mr K posing adorably amongst new Spring blossom but unfortunately spooked by another Kestrel flying over ... oooh, wish I'd got a good look!!!
Only a snippet at half speed to make it worthwhile
