The pair showed up on 13th March & were checking out the nest - here's hoping..............
Have posted all I've taken today, unedited, as I'm so excited!!! They both flew off & now Mr Kestrel has returned to nest & sitting, waiting like a spider in the middle of a web! Just going to video him
2013 photos & vids here

Kind regards, Ann

An overload of Kestrel vids today charting TWO visits by Mr K to the 'Tower Restaurant' which is situated on the top of the telegraph pole opposite my lounge door (bring your own Vole!!)...
There is a YUK warning in force!
Enjoy!!!
lol Wendy, I see he doesn't bother skinning it first or remove the tail before he eats the vole !! Fantastic clips, he is looking in supreme condition. I wouldn't leave your lounge if I was there with such prime viewing material lol
I want a tower restaurant outside my lounge window.......don't mind the gory bits with such a stunning bird. Like the last video Wendy when you can see the full face markings so clearly.
Lot to learn
Wonderful videos, Wendy. Great to see him enjoy a meal but I can never fathom out how they can swallow such a large mouthful. If I had such a great view from my house, I am sure I wouldn't get any HW done. Thank you.
Swallows it whole then shows us its bum.Very nice.And the bonus of a "still" in another thread. :-) Mr.K ,you are a star.
edit. I`ll bring the pies,Bob.
He brightened my day OK as was captive in house due to having new bathroom fitted! So, in the middle of all the chaos, there was I shooting & uploading vids as well as being the spare pair of hands for the fitter - my neighbour, who just happens to be a plumber!
And I don't do a great deal of HW or going out only to buy tiles/cushion floor/sealant etc!! Oh, & the twice weekly school collection & maybe some food lol!
Have to make the most of Mr K's visits - never know when I'll see him next - glad you enjoyed the gore!
Keep your hands off the fitter,Wendy.Good to hear you`ve a new bath for when we all visit.
B_r_n & EB.....straight down the A299 & turn left & make sure they are meat& potato!! lol
