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

I do agree, Wendy. He really is so handsome. Wonderful photographs and I did enjoy watching your videos. I am so jealous of your regular sighting of him.
Didn't know you were my No 1 fan aitch - kind of you ROFL!
I do appreciate how lucky I am to have him just across the road BH - don't be envious, come & visit!!
Have never seen him go inside since there were nestlings but the other day I did see him clinging to the outside rim under the shelter of the cherry tree - weather was ghastly that day so no pics unfortunately!
I must admit I thought that, Alan. Maybe he will use the nest hole when winter really arrives, Wendy. I will keeping check on your reports, as always, to see if he does use it at any time.
I may take you up on your invitation, to visit :-))
Yes he is handsome Wendy, and yes you are lucky to be able to see him daily, but I have an idea he is watching you watching him, at least in the first video it seemed that way!!
Lot to learn
I doubt that he saw me on this occasion G as I was taking pics through the dining room bay window but there are no nets/blinds so it is a possibility!
I have watched him on a previous visit sitting on a telegraph pole rung actively tracking my cat as she pranced up & down the road! Mostly he keeps a look out for Blackbirds/Magpies/Crows as they all would like to 'disappear' him!
Handsome Mr K visited again today & perched on top of telegraph pole in the morning sunshine...
Hope you're not getting bored!
Can't get bored of beautiful Kestrel pics :-)
"Let loose the Kraken!"
Never bored seeing your Mr K photographs, Wendy. He really is such a beauty.
He's beautiful, Wendy. Never get bored with seeing pictures of him. And you've got sunshine - lucky you.
