Hi Deacon, do you think so?? They're not so big yet... I do see they are growing up very fast though. Do they just go outside, and is the nest up on the roof of some bulding?

This will be the week they leave the nest.

Just saw someone on a water scooter scooting across the lake and into the left hand corner.... I would think it was a trifle windy for riding one of those!!

Hi Ed, nice to see you again! Hope you are well .. :-). MD, I love jigsaws too, so have saved the link so I can do it too. Oh well, if the baby Kestrels do well on the bits of rock, so be it... They are all growing up so fast and looks like they are all males?? What do you think...

Hi again Phoenix ... every day I do 2 jigsaw puzzles on this site and on Friday there's a third one - a mystery puzzle. They show just a part of the puzzle and as soon as I saw it I knew it was Carcassonne. http://www.jigsawexplorer.com/online-jigsaw-puzzle-player.html?puzzle_i...

Hi Phoenix ... I Googled "do kestrels build nests" and this is what I got: Kestrels are adaptable in their use of nest sites, but do not build their own nests. Old or disused nests of crows and other stick nesters are often used, as are ledges on cliffs and buildings. They ar...

One of the chicks isn't very lively. All the rest are preening their wee bits of feathers, but not this one. Lying there with its wee feet up in the air... :-(

Hi Phoenix .... all five will survive. I always feel sorry for the last one to leave. Must be awful sitting there alone - waiting for your next meal to arrive. The new feathers do look as though they might cause itches. We are so lucky to be able to see the chicks grow.

Wonder if it gets itchy when the feathers start growing? Wee souls... they're getting bigger by the day and there are still five of them.. ðŸ¥³ðŸ¥°
