Kitten - Thanks for finding the cam link and info for the lesser kestrels in Israel! I've added this nest to the Kestrel Nesting Calendar and to the list of Kestrel Cam Links.

Hola and Simone
Here's a picture of the fourth egg

New Kestrel Nest with Multiple Cams in the Netherlands!

Here's a big welcome to our newest member, richardoe! He just sent me a PM with a link to his kestrel nest page in the Netherlands. Multiple live cams are focused on the nest, so it should be fun to watch. When I just checked the nest out, the female (I think) was sitting in the nest box.

I'm not sure where in the Netherlands the nest is or if any eggs have been laid yet, but I'm sure we'll find out soon from richardoe.

Here's the link to the new Netherlands nest: http://www.richardoe.nl/torenvalk/

Thanx for the warm welcome.

My cams are situated at home near Groningen in the Netherlands. Last year we have had a nest with 3 youngs flying out.

at http://www.richardoe.nl/torenvalk/high.htm you can find several movie highlights (prey transfers etc.)

at http://www.richardoe.nl/torenvalk/logboek.htm some history from 2009 with pictures. You probably can use google translate if you want to read it all

Status April 13: First eggs are expected any day now. Female is 18-20 hrs per day in the nestbox.

Yes we also have a horse in foal. That foal is expected around mid may. during that few days i need to switch to the horses (at evening/night only) as a kind of controll. So that when the birth alarm goes off we don't need to go to the horse everytime.

Ok I thought richardoe's nest was the one I found anf posted on page 3 I saw a Kestrel there a couple times and then got hung up on hatches and egg laying and lost all track now I can at least get started on the Kestrels noe that my nest is done laying eggs
I hate to admit I have let the Kestels hanging this year so much what with the falcons and eagles but I'm back and on a mission

I just checked the cam in Groningen, and the cute little kestrel was there!



I also watched some of the kestrel videos in the "Highlights" section of richardoe's Web site. The kestrels here are so cute with their beautiful long tail feathers!

Aren't those cute the 4th one I think was my favorite that one can took that mouse and was gone in a blink

Yes KF, those videos are cute. And I love having sound with them . . . kestrels make the sweetest chirping sounds!

Just caught our little Swiss kestrel with a snack . . . or perhaps it's lunch.
