Pere juveniles 1 kestrels 2
Published 7 December, 2016 | By Cilla Kinross
On Friday evening I found a lone juvenile (probably Vim) on their dead tree; no sign of the others.
Nearby was a pair of Australian (=Nankeen) Kestrels, so I amused myself trying to photograph them (no sign of juveniles, alas)

I haven’t had a chance to get back out there until today, but couldn’t find any trace of them, although Xavier is visiting regularly to the box and Diamond is there overnight. And there are occasions when they get together. Here Xavier is preparing a scrape (which is gone now as I cleaned the box today, so he might get a bit of surprise when he gets back).

I don’t think they will have gone yet. Juveniles are usually around for a month at least. I think they have just moved to another tree, perhaps a bit further away. Diamond is away all day, so appears to be much of the supervision.

Wow...what a trooper Cilla is. That is one messy job and it looks rather awkward. Doesn't look like she replaced the gravel, but all the debris, feathers, bones, and leftover food was cleaned out....and there was a lot of debris. Yikes! I would probably want to wear a Hazmat suit to do what she did....kudos to her!
