Info Post
A female bird has been around the Mullock Bridge area all winter - sometimes perches on a telephone pole in our garden. Most recently seen at the weekend - about the 8th.

(Incidentally the Barn Owl is still around the area - saw it yesterday)

Paddy, Did you put up kestrel boxes at the LNG plant? I know there was a plan to do so at one stage. Is it really thought that lack of nest sites is the controlling factor for Kestrel density? I would have thought that food and territory competition from other birds of prey and corvids could be more of a problem.Though I suppose that Jackdaws probably compete with Kestrels for nest sites. I suppose we shall find out in due course!
