Warbler - Thanks for the very interesting comments about the San Clemente nest. I did manage to catch sight of the female kestrel this morning - I think that's the first time I saw a kestrel at the nest!

As for the number of eggs, you're right about 7 eggs being laid in other nests. Last year, both the Berlin nest and the Highlander nest had 7 eggs. Amazingly, Berlin had 7 chicks hatch and 6 chicks fledge while Highlander had 4 chicks hatch and 4 chicks fledge.

It will be interesting to see how everything plays out in the San Clemente nest this year.

I have been checking in on Berlin and they were not sure if the kestrel were going to nest here or
not I am so glad to see they have decided to. :girlluv:

As if we didn't have enough yet, whilst checking whether the Israeli Barn Owl cams finally had gone on line (one did), I stumbled upon the announcement of a new Common Kestrel cam. It's not yet on line, though.

It is in Petach Tikva, Israel and I have the idea they nest in a power grid pylon or something like that.

Link with the announcement:

Correction on previous message:
Nest is in the windowsill of an office (of Gilat Satellite Networks, who sponsor the cam).
Also it's not new, but nest and cam were there in 2004. Cam off line right now.

Info in English, incl. some very nice photo's at this page:

Nice catches of the new eggs, Ferenz! And thanks to Bosuil for finding the new Common Kestrel Cam in Israel.

Note: I'll update the Kestrel Nesting Calendar and Kestrel Cam Links before the end of the day.
