Eurasian Kestrel - Netherlands / Beleef de Lente
maggieblue:
Some good news here. The updates from the past two days indicate that the kestels appear to have regained their nest. I really didn't think that this was going to happen a few days ago. First the doves were spending a lot of time in there with the jackdaws visiting. At one point the doves were terrified and glued to the opposite wall while the jackdaw guarded the entrance. Then the doves didn't seem to be around but the jackdaws were there a lot together. During this time I saw the kestrels making appearances on the outside but they appeared to be too nervous to go inside. I guess their persistence paid off. Let's hope that this is the end of the drama.

The kestrels have been hanging about the nest box recently and there is a clip from this morning with some "falcon love" so they may end up using this nest box. The crows haven't really been a presence here as much since the big scrum last weekend. Still hard to know who will end up "owning" this nest box.

Thanks for the help everyone, I'm hitting all your links to the info on kestrel's, etc. Terriffic stuff. I've been doing the translating thing at yahoo and "towering falcon" i guess was what was confirming that idea for me. Was out at Oak Hammock today (freezing) and noticed a European bird book there but didn't think to look at the kestrel in there. It seems I "want" it to be a falcon. Funny.
The Peregrine Chick:
BirdCamFan - excellent suggestion!! I'm going to try to find a way to incorporate that on our foreign language cams so folks know what their options are.
If anyone else has ideas like this related to peregrine (or torenvalk) cams, send me a pm!
