Re: Kestrels - Life in the Box 2012!

That's true, bit of rain is nothing! I've just starting using a MacBook so still trying to get to grips with it! Still trying to work out how to get my screen captures on here, I can take them but they are in the wrong format! More research required!

What on earth is Mum doing? Is she trying to bring up a pellet?

  Ahhh, so that's what it is. She was doing it a lot yesterday, thought she had indigestion!

Mum and Dad! Briefly....

11.28:  Looks like a slow worm for breakfast

Lol! :-)

  Was wondering if you can get Microsoft paint up on your mac.  There are probably better things to use, but I've just been given some shortcuts so you don't need to mess around for ages editing the photo. If you can get paint up, and you haven't tried doing it that way, I could talk you through it if you like. Otherwise,  probably a daft question but when you've copied your shots, have you chosen JPEG format?  

Got to log off now, things called 'responsibilities' beckon sigh....but good to see that all remains well and that both parents are coping very well. A last glimpse is of the chicks alone, now spread evenly across the back of the nest box. I wonder where mum's going to sit? :)

17:45 dad brought a mouse and the bigger chick swallowed it within a minute! the brother on the right was expecting a share..but will have to wait his turn ;-)

Someone appears to have left a pile of kestrel chicks in the corner of this nestbox.

OH NO!  Camera gone again :-(

Sorry-unfortunately the camera is down again this morning. We think it may be the same problem as last time so hopefully we can get it sorted as soon as possible!

We will get the team on it and will have the kestrels back with you all ASAP!

Yup sorry guys, we are getting 'the man' down tommorrow morning. Up date from me is food still being brought to the box today.

Rob - how about a sketch update? Or a nice watercolour maybe? :-)

I'll tell you what Dom, when Michael recieves emails from 2 people willing to join the rspb (michael.wilson@rspb.org.uk) then Michael, Sarah and I will do a short dramatisation of what you have missed on video for you all.

Michael, let me know when you sign the people up and I'll get the video camera!

Is that a good deal Dom?

Brilliant! I would pay good money to watch that!

So they just have to be willing to join? Not actually join? Hmm... Pete are you thinking what I'm thinking?
