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

As it's such a diabolical day, gales & lashing rain here, I will post the vid of Kestrel visits to bring some cheer ... a whizzy affair to show all his actions with important bits 'attended to'

Beautiful to see Mr K; same weather here today and not stopped raining :( your clip certainly cheered up a dismal day so thanks Wendy :)

Good to see Mr K back again. A nice early Xmas present. Is there anyway you can tell if this is the original Mr K or a new one?
It's been pouring with rain all day here in Berkshire too. I'm sick of winter already and it hasn't really started yet.

Good to see he's back. I wonder where he's been for that long. I presume you had strong words about his aberrant behaviour!

Raining here all day today, too--bleah. Thanks, Wendy for the Kestrel pics. Lovely bird.

Great news Wendy, we have ours that comes & hunts near the garden every lunchtime. We didn't see him today but it was lashing down with rain! Lets hope yours makes more regular visits again.

Oh how wonderful and exciting Wendy, I was just thinking the other day that we had not heard much from you about Mr K. Well where indeed has he been and only now, after 3 months deciding to put in his appearance! Is this the original Mr K do you think or the other fellow who was coming about, or did we decide that it indeed was the same bird all along?

Still can't make up my mind if this is same Kestrel but usually come to the conclusion that it's a younger bird!
Very gusty winds & rain here again today & was pleased to find the male Kestrel (must think up a name for him) sheltering in the nest hole

Very short vid as battery died & wind was knocking cam about too

He stayed for about an hour but not fortunate enough to catch him leaving!

He's gorgeous Wendy and hope he continues to visit; looks a perfect sheltered spot for him so keep the batteries charged and the camera on standby !

Fabulous pictures Wendy, what kind of distance are you when taking them? He looks very comfortable sat in the shelter.
