Springwatch - For the love of Kes

Awesome Alan, thank you.

I usually see Kestrels every time I go to Neumann's Flash, Nr. Northwich, Cheshire but the last three times there has only been the buzzards around;   female Kestrel may be nesting but we should be seeing the male so hoping to take another walk round there tomorrow or Friday, weather permitting !    I'm having trouble with the spotters website too so will look tomorrow.

I've added my sighting - here is the kestrel in question, video taken 19th May I posted this on the forum the other day

Oh thanks for that Alan, I will try again after I check the dates on my EXIF data :)   may have seen it at the beginning of May so will check through my photos now.   Cheers again :)  

Just submitted my sighting from last week. I did see one alongside the road on my trip out yesterday but I can't remember where  Hahaha

I'll have start keeping notes of the ones I spot.

Have just submitted details of my nesting pair - but not their exact location!!

There was a female Kestrel on my local patch last winter but haven't seen her or any others anywhere since. A sad state of affairs - I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I'm sure there's a Kestrel at Dove stones, will have to do some watching!

Thanks for the link MrsT,as recorder for our little local club on the Eastern edge of the Yorkshire Dales I have noticed in the last couple of years that I get more records of sightings of Common Buzzard and Red Kite than Kestrel,sad state of affairs for this lovely little raptor.

Submitted my sightings, they usually fly over the fields on the Weeley bypass Essex
