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

Oooohhhhh how exciting Wendy, and what a beauty she is. NOW all we need is Mr K (or the other one, or both or none, if in fact it has been him all along) to come along and wooooo her!! She sure was having a good look about and exploring. Well done to Mick for the lovely footage.

Brilliant Wendy. Lovely looking female Kestrel and interesting to see her inspect the cliff, I had a feeling that the last place she perched and kept looking inside was it a hole where years ago we had seen activity before or am I dreaming?

Lovely to see ... but ooooh, that's a long time to wait to see if she hangs around. Will any of us survive the suspense???

Back in the day the Kestrel fledglings used to poke around in that area & both Mr K & the new male have perched there, likely a Starling or Spadger nest in the breeding season ... would be a tight squeeze for Kestrel's nest though!

I may well not Nige! Lol

I have to admit that I thought I'd never see him again ... turns up on Monday as if he owned the place

Am working on a vid (of course! Lol)

Congratulations, Wendy, A lovely early Christmas present for you! But I can't believe that you waited until today to tell us!

Sometimes not enough hours in the day Ann!

That's certainly true, Wendy!

Wonderful news Wendy, glad to hear the camera is on standby ! we need cheering up after all this rain and cloud lol
