Baby kestrel update

The chicks are now becoming quite big and will fly the nest soon. We managed to get a couple to look at the camera long enough to take their portrait. See how they are delicately refusing to eat the mouse burger at their feet until we look away.
Val says about Malc's photo - I like the piles of fluffy grey feathers shed to get their grown up plumage, never noticed this so clearly other years. Also as the nest hole is bigger and wider it gives two chicks instead of one a chance to grab  food being brought in. This year perhaps two will fledge at the same time.
