The kestrel chicks at Muttenz are getting ready to fledge, flapping their wings and perching on the nest box edges. Only 3 chicks were visible in the nest box just now, so the 4th might be out exploring around the the nest box platform or it might have already fledged.

I will surely miss seeing these cuties when they have all fledged.

It looks as if two have fledged and two are left at Muttenz . . .

And the prey items in the nest box outnumber the kestrel chicks. This is one nest where there's never been a shortage of food!

This wet year in europe is a very bad year for mice!! The first nesting attempt failed because Bianca didn't find enough prey for herself, so that Elmi the housekeeper and web cam owner threw in some extra mice to help Bianca to survive.

And he had reasons to continue after the four eyasses had hatched.

Well done Elmi and many thanks for your successful falcon care!

Thanks so much for the news, Ferenz. So that's how all the mice got into the nest box! Thank goodness for kindness of Elmi that helped Bianca and her chicks survive.

A big thanks to Ferenz and Beth for the lovely pictures of the kestrels here. I was surprised to still see them around.
