Having followed the progress of our baby kestrels over the last few weeks we have now seen them quit the nest and take their freedom. (kexit?)
It seems that there were only two fledglings this time rather the usual four or five. It has been suggested that the mother was a young bird leading to a smaller brood, but this is conjecture.
Equally unusually we have not seen the fledged birds. Normally they stay around a few days in the acacia tree by the house or in a dead chestnut in the woods, but this time we have not seen them about, so we hope they are OK.
