Kestrel with 5 eggs
Kestrel with 5 eggs

It was an amazing week watching her lay an egg every 1-2 days. Only really incubating them occasionally until she has a full clutch. This is very important to ensure they all hatch with in a couple of days of each other. Incubation takes around 30 days so early May these lovely little eggs while hatch. The male kestrel has been popping in and helping with the incubation, allowing the female to stretch her wings and feed.

If you come down to our Discovery Hut at Seaton Wetlands, you can enjoy a hot drink and snack and watch the wonders of nature happen in real time.
