Kestrel nest

A hot tip from a photographer in one of my Facebook groups (thanks Thomas!) gave me the pleasure of visiting a kestrel nest from relatively close up.At first the nest box was deserted, because the “little ones” are already quite big and are already flying around. The whole family was sitting on the roofs all around. I think I counted 5 animals.

I lay down behind a bush for 20 minutes, opposite the box, and at least two came by. You a see how tense and  concentrated the youngsters still are, when flying. The morning would be the right time to take photos there, because then you would have the sun at your back… but you have to work. 

Beautiful animals and somehow there is a connection: I’m buying an “e” and would like to fly with it.
