We lost one bird but will be gaining more

No not more hens, at the moment, we have kestrel young. Passing under the hole in the wall of the gite where kestrels are flying in and out, I found today a broken eggshell.

On checking the bird books it is the shell of a kestrel. We thought there was so much activity things must be happening. Now we will await seeing little fluffy "Orville" type faces in the opening, probably a couple of weeks time. The nesting is so early this year it is not impossible the birds will have a second brood later.
