Kestrels in the Quarry 2020/21/breaking news 1st Oct 2022

New male who I've named Colin gave us a miss over Xmas & New Year's day so was very pleased to see him this afternoon, giving me a reason to start new thread in the hope there's some romance this year!

Grim & grey day here so light was bad for pics @ almost 15.00

Resolution in vid was a great improvement ... he looks almost too pretty to be a boy!!  Trademark ending though ... start as you mean to go on!

  • I can't remember who it was who joined me in claiming 5 - but... no way!

    The Three:

    That's not to say there's no other in behind ;) 

    MrsK was on the ledge and off over the evening, leaving the eldest in charge for a while.

    22:30:

    She returned and stayed all night and is still there - I've just checked the live stream since taking this snap:

  • Very active nest, no wonder you can't leave it for long Scylla. Great to see three youngsters, if not more.

    Lot to learn

  • I am not 100% sure, but I think that Scylla's pic from ''leaving eldest in charge'' is the mum. At 22.17 she got really spooked and charged into the nest. Then later she emerged looking very alert.

    (There's a watermark "Clideo.com" as I just tried their online cropping service - it's turned out better quality than the software I currently use.  Hmm, shall I pay to have it done without watermark?  Hmm.)

    If you're looking, WENDY - it's $9 a month "cancel any time" or $6 paid for a year - but is it one of those that can keep taking yer dosh until you do cancel?  Not easy to see but NowTV caught me out for £££ so I'm wary.

    16th morning - nothing spectacular but some very flappy flaps :)

  • Thanks for clideo info Scylla ... would think that the best option is to pay $99 for lifetime sub if you find watermark irksome, doesn't bother me though!

    17th

     This little incident was cut off by a Windows Update this morning - so when I came across it I had to find the outcome on YT rollback and screen-capture it and it turned out to be a non-event - but I'm posting it anyway because I went to so much trouble Stuck out tongue

    I agree and hadn't seen the lifetime option.  How often do I crop? I ask myself.  I'm trying to explore other features but never have the time !!!

    EDIT - Afterthought - And have I got $99-worth of lifetime left? Smirk
