Once again we are live from the Kestrel nest in a field barn above Hubberholme in the Yorkshire Dales. Male and female busy preparing for 2022, along with the noisy neighbors (Jackdaws). There will be two cameras again for 2022. The nest camera is already up and running. The second one will be live later in the season. On the outside on the (small) ledge.
Very windy

First egg for the Yorkshire Dales Kestrel 12:50 24/04/22.
The Jackdaws continue to be a problem. But in the main we have encouraged them to nest around the back of the building. Two in particular are taking an unhealthy interest in this nest hole. We can only hope that our Kestrels are vigilant and brave.
