Eurasian Kestrel - Netherlands / Beleef de Lente
birdcamfan:
I thought it was sweet when the dove sat on the eggs. Poor thing shot through the entrance like it had been launched from a cannon when the kistral returned.

It looked like the dove thought that her eggs had magically reappeared as she tried to brood them and was making some very interesting noises. :( There is a vieoclip from yesterday. I noticed that the female was at the entrance after dark and is on guard today.

Awe...poor thing :( Well at least she tried to brood them and not destroy them. Hmmm, are doves capable of fostering?
maggieblue:
So it is dark there now and mama appear to be on guard. Sitting at the entrance :-*

The Peregrine Chick:
Merlins here (mostly comparable to the kestrels in Europe) use old crows' nests here to nest in, they don't make their own so they have to usurp someone elses. Means that the crows have to come in first, then the merlins can follow. If the crows leave, the merlins will follow when the nests left behind deterioriate - merlins don't make repairs ...
