Kestrel Nesting-Diary 2024
Also this year the kestrel are lwatching out for their home. Now and then you can see them in the camera-niche of
the bell-tower. It is not yet regularly but it seems to be necessary to let the jackdaws know that this niche is in use.
It should now only be a few weeks before the first eggs are laid, and we will report back in good time.
We suspect that it is due to the temperatures that the falcons are rarely seen. The jackdaws take advantage of this
and the niche is now full of twigs and other nesting material. We will probably have to clean the niche again in the next few days....
The neighboring stork nest is also orphaned again. After a few days, first the female stork and then the male stork moved out.
We are curious to see whether a second pair will be found.
