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
See Mr K having another scratch Nige ... seems to have both eyes still! Lol
I suspect that he'd been in nest hole quite some time before I spotted him judging by those black feathers fluttering in the breeze!
Bit grainy due to low light!
We are more fortunate here Gaynor with fairly mild SW wind & temps in double figures although mist/fog overnight! Briefest of visits yesterday but Mr K didn't stay long enough for a new pic!
Was beginning to wonder if I'd ever see him again ... still no female visitor, suspect he may be pairing up elsewhere!
Seriously foggy all day yesterday so Mr K took full advantage of his nest hole & cliff crevice ... was here for a few hours
Went back to nest hole until dark so didn't catch him flying off ... the greyness of the pics/vids show how bad the fog was!
