The Mill Birds - 2007
May 2007 2007
|
Kestrels first nested at the Mill
last year (2005) when the female laid five eggs, all of which hatched and later
flew. ---------------------------------------- See 2008 page See 2006 page --------------------------------------- Early April 2007 (Easter) The Jackdaws have been nest building frantically, and the Kestrels are around daily 'defending' their home. The Jackdaws should lay any day now, and the camera is live.; ------------------------------------------------------ 27 April - The Jackdaws built their nest, but then left it and tried to take the Kestrel nest. The Kestrels now seem to have won, and having mated in the last few days, we expect the female to start sitting eggs very soon. The Tree Sparrows have hatched and seem to be thriving. The Swallows arrived as usual on St. George's Day and are quickly establishing nest sites. ----------------------------------------------------- Other birds seen or heard around the mill are Lesser Whitethroat and Willow Warblers. |
