Eurasian Kestrel - Netherlands / Beleef de Lente
bev.:
The dutch forum seems to think that if she incubates soon there may still be hope. Can we not forget how long Scout left that one egg last year and every egg hatched. so let us pray for a wee bit of success here.

If I understand TPC's comments from yesterday correctly, she is done with the present clutch, but there is hope, as she has been at the territory, and if she can find a new male she can have another clutch. The sighting today provides hope that this situation can still have a happy ending.

A different male made a visit to the nestbox today. There is a clip from today with a title that translates as New Man? So perhaps the female hasn't been around much because she has been out looking for a new mate. Stay tuned.
birdcamfan:
Kestrel was sitting at the nest entrance several times through the night but never saw her go into the nest. She seemed content to sit and preen on the platform. This is so disappointing. I was even hoping last night that the dove would go and sit on the eggs.
