Our kestrels but Peter Hughes is the photographer

Hi Val & Malc

Here is a selection of today’s kestrel photos. You can clearly see that a chick is swallowing a mouse whole! It is interesting that only the male visited the nest whilst I was there. Perhaps the female is more nervous or does the male do most of the feeding?

Thank you for the opportunity to visit such a special nest!

Val says normally it is the female who feeds so I imagine she was more scared of the newly placed hide.
