Eurasian Kestrel - Netherlands / Beleef de Lente
sparkster:
This camera will be shut down in a day or two, I think, but they have a couple of great summary videos posted - March/April, and May/June - with a lovely farewell and close-up of a parent in the last one (have a tissue on hand). There is also a short video of one of the chicks playing in a puddle on June 16 entitled, "AAB op het dak". The cuteness factor is fairly high. :-*

This was an excellent nest to observe. I'm going to miss these guys.
sparkster:
This has been a great little family to observe. The parents must have depleted the mouse and lizard population to feed the 6 chicks - over 1,000 prey at the last count, according to the clips. :o The parents were very fierce when the crows were around. It has been a pleasure to watch as the chicks developed. I hope they all do well.

All six kids have fledged. The clips showing the last one leaving are fun to watch as he watches all siblings leave, then one comes back as if to encourage, which he does successfully. All six fledglings have been spotted, hanging around the area and the parents are feeding and protecting them as furiously, if not more so than when they were in the nest. It's been lovely to watch this family grow and thrive :-*
