Eurasian Kestrel - Netherlands / Beleef de Lente
birdcamfan:
Does anyone know-If this had been an endangered species such as a peregrine nest, at what point would the biologist have intervened and pulled the eggs out to artificially incubate?
birdcamfan:
I'm glad to hear that the kestrel has been seen there. I looked on and off all night (up studying) and only saw the dove. She looks very content there right now trying to sleep at the entrance of the nest box. I was worried that her comfort level at the box might mean that the kestrels were nowhere around. Even though this nest box has been very upsetting at times for me to watch, it has, by the same token been fascinating to see the varying birds try to claim it as theirs.
maggieblue:
Both the dove and the female kestrel have been sitting at the nestbox entrance today (at different times). The dove looks very nervous.
birdcamfan:
Mrs dove is there again nervously looking in the box. After about 10 minutes, she has entered and "rearranged the furniture" so that she could get her big butt on to the eggs. It was amazing that she went right to the eggs again. It's almost like she thinks they are hers.
allikat:
After that video I saw today of her and this new man...I have hope!
