    It’s lovely to watch the Kestrels close up.Very sad the little one was lost,but it’s nature,and you tried your best.It’s a large clutch for her to feed,and with a shortage of small animals it did not help..It also shows the struggles they have to.There are a number of hunting birds in that area ,so you can understand why.But because we see this close up your teaching others how precious these wonderful birds are and how resilient they are to change the food,and overcome problems.I do believe this is why the clutches are so large,to allow for loss .Beautiful to watch,looking forward to the next video and seeing how they have grown 🥰

    Amazing that Athena will "yell" at Apollo to get off the eggs and leave but blocks the entrance...reminds me of some human's behaviors. Cute babies. Amazing photography-I've recommended your 'channel' to many bird-lovers. Thanks, and have a great weekend.

    I see Athena is still being Athena. I really feel bad for Apollo when she blocks the exit. There's no other way out and she keeps screeching at him to go hunting, but he can't because she's blocking the way. Poor guy.

      Hey, that's awesome to read. Way to go. ✨
      Fwiw, I'm sober 25 years from narcotics and alcohol, too. What nature's brought to my life has been astonishing. Tho I'm aware it's been here the whole time, it's as if it's new.
      Hope you've got a good support circle. It makes a difference. (And maybe think about changing your RUclips name heh. Vibes matter. And you're someone else now, friend.)
      Paz y luz.

    Good grief ~ being on both sides of the predation formula must be exhausting!

  • @gala_pi
    @gala_pi Год назад +7

    It's subtle but this video actually provides an insight into how field manufacturing make it more difficult for wildlife to survive. Athena and Apollo and their 6 chicks need to eat 12 rodents a day. And some days Athena returned with just one worm. Because when those fields harvested so many rodents are killed. I was vegetarian for many years before I realised that eating one cow a year is healthier for a planet than supporting vegetarian industry that kills so many rodents and hence wildlife. That smallest chick probably would have survived if nourished properly and received enough mother's warmness, but instead his mother had to leave her chicks to find food herself. Just some food for thought for all of us.
