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

You were right Sweetwing in that two fell at same time ... Peter just confirmed & said the search continues!

Man just replaced eyas into nest cavity.

No I hadn't seen it, WENDY, thank you for this:

Heard from Peter, one is safe in a ventilation hole below the nest but no sign of fourth one yet!

I'm not going to be able to do anything for a while but will produce something later - even if someone's already done it  

Brilliant news Scylla, thanks!

A very kind man with a trusty ladder ... https://youtu.be/rKGUCg0EU8A

Back to three juvies again

You know I come on here to relax! !!!!!!!! and what do I get, I'm rapidly aging by the minute. Going back to swearing at Win 10 and photo transfering grrrr.

OOOOhhhh I don't know. couldn't use photo gallery somehow so downloaded my programme that came with camera, photo fun, used it years ago until I changed to windows live photo gallery. So they get on to PC easily enough, then I downsize on that programme and they seem to disappear. Found them in My Pics and from there have managed at last to put them on here about five mins ago:-) Had to go out and pull up weeds to calm down:-):-)

Glad you managed Gaynor ... did you rip their heads off first? Lol

Lol Wendy, if there is one thing I have plenty of in my garden it is nettles and weeds, I made nettle fertiliser a few weeks ago, seemed to work, not for imbibing though:-) Though I must add I have made a few bottles of elderflower champagne....lovely.

Just read this sad news on cam page ...
