This year our kestrel pair a Kevin and Kitty had 5 eggs ( 2 eggs two yrs ago and last year they were all predated by corvids. Watching the parents feeding the chicks has been fascinating and now they are starting to become adults and looking outside the box.

Our kestrel chicks are now becoming more active at the box entrance but with five chicks they have to take turns! Thanks to Robert E Fuller for the nest box design. BTO Shropshire Shropshire Wildlife Trust
