Glad I just looked in - goodnight!
We think(?) there are four chicks possibly five. But it's almost impossible to do a head count. Hopefully we will be able to count them when they spill out....
The video showing the Weasel attacking the female will be online by the end of the week. It's dramatic stuff and not for the faint hearted!
Update... Minimum 5!

Yes I thought I could see 5 just now.
Shocking news about weasel attack Carnyx, when did this happen? Is female OK?

Don't panic Wendy! That is a reference to the attack in early April. We are publishing the video at the end of this week. Although the Weasel is still around it has not been back to the barn.
Not sure if it is connected, but immediately after the attack, all the Jackdaws stopped nest building in the barn.
Phew, thank goodness!! Suppose it's more peaceful for the Kestrels without the Jackdaws nesting nearby?
I have come across quite a colony of Jackdaws on the old buildings opposite the quayside at Sandwich in Kent (River Stout) & they frequent the stand of trees & grassland next to carpark, lovely birds IMO!
It's an awkward nest to fledge from - they really have nowhere to do any flapping to prepare - and from Carnyx' picture on the previous page, only a narrow ledge outside.

Another feed this morning....
Another excellent capture Carnyx, thanks so much for this alternative view ... who takes these pics?
Captured a few moment of furious preening this morning but made me laugh at the remaining tuft of baby feathers on it's head
