The good news is that the three fluffy young kestrels we first saw huddled up in their nestbox at Wat Tyler Country Park have all left the nest as sleek, agile hunters and are now completely independent.
The bad news is that we aren't getting many views of them from the hide, so have had to pack up our very popular viewpoint early.
For the past month we've had some brilliant views of kestrel family life and its dramas. There were squabbles between siblings, brawls with crows and magpies, and feeding frenzies whenever mum or dad delivered a tasty morsel.
Now that the youngsters are out and about hunting, they are experimenting by catching lots of different prey - the other day one flew in with a slow worm and devoured it right in front of the hide!
Our viewpoint might be closed, but you can still catch up with us at the visitor centre. And the kestrels are still around too, hovering and hunting in the sky above you while you're out and about discovering the rest of the park.
