Kestrel sightings appeal

During the last two winters approx 70 Kestrel nestboxes have been put up in the county as part of an attempt to assess why they are getting so scarce in the county. It would be really helpful to the project if all sightings of Kestrels are reported on the blog site. Within Wales Red Kites now outnumber Kestrels by three to one, so they really are becoming a rarity. Repeat sightings of birds in the same location are still very interesting as this information helps to build up a picture of the breeding population. Many thanks, Paddy.

Over Narberth this afternoon there were 3 Kites, an imm male Goshawk, and two Ravens all having a chase. The Goshawk had a go for one of the ravens which dived into a tree full of roosting Woodpigeons to distract it.
