Kestrels hyperactive

Quick snap yesterday
Regular readers are familiar with our fascination with the kestrels which often nest in our gite wall. Strangely a pair have been flying around making their usual mating and warning calls and investigating the nesting site for a couple of weeks now. It looks as if a third bird - probably another male - is trying to entice our female to go to another site nearby leading to aerial combat on a regular basis. Our male is up for a fight and this morning aggressively saw off a passing heron.
