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!
Thanks for all your support & encouragement during this past year ... 2018 thread here ... https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/196252/kestrels-in-the-quarry-201

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Yesterday's visit the male Kestrel still looked different ...
Pics cut from vid footage
He didn't do much other than preen & unfortunately didn't catch fly-off so here are vid links in case you wish to view

However today he looked much more like the original Mr K ... hence my indecision
Very brief slo-mo footage as he was spooked!
I'll leave you to decide?
Lot to learn
Thanks Gaynor, it will be on here very soon!
Sorry for falling behind with posts ... this new male Kestrel was perched on cliffs yesterday morning having a good preen
Funny expression in this one, looks half asleep
