Kestrel Attack - Somerset Barn Owl
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2023
- First the stock doves wanting to nest, then a Buzzard attack, and now a Kestrel! Our Barn Owl pair are really having to defend their box!
Apologies for the dirty internal camera. They came back to full residence before we had a chance to clean it.
Many thanks for our lovely Moderators and Subscribers that time stamp these amazing events for us.

they fight each other a lot. it is like an ancient rivalry. the owls is clever, wanting to bring the fight inside, where its larger size and strength is to its advantage and the agility of the kestrel is nullified. very clever.
Or the barn owl will pay it a visit at night.
@@shannonspage9360 yep, thats is a definite possibility.
Or he could just be a sissy and scared of the kestrel :)
Bird is bigger than owl have you ever seen a owl without feathers there's nothing to them and very ugly 🧐
The Owl is wise, not clever
When the Owl goes back inside, he tells his mate "Hide, I want the Kestrel to think I'm alone, then when he comes in, we'll jump him and have him for dinner"
Barn owls are some of the least aggressive owl species
@@remyogun8270 Yes, one of the least aggressive owl towards humans, but they are predators, I'm sure their prey would describe them as VERY AGGRESSIVE when ripping them apart.
@@mikeef747 no. My point is that they are not keen on attacking nor killing other Raptors. In fact, they are more commonly preyed upon by more formidable raptors, and other owl species.
@@remyogun8270 Fair enough!
mate? looks more like a single chick...The fact there's only 1 chick in the nest makes me think this isnt the kestrels first house call
the mom went into the nest because the kestrel has little chance inside. 👏
Owl says;
"C'mon back after dark...."
Nature is all around, even next door to a road and passing traffic. A most diverting video of what goes on in other lives.
Thank you for the video! Glad the recordings are running well! 😃
Glad you liked it! Amazing to see these attacks by different species!
This problem needs to be discussed in Parliament
😂😂😂
Yuk yuk
Owl be back
Animal life is largely one endless chain of predation.
Largely?
For being known as the wise ones of the bird world he sure was quick to give himself a tactical disadvantage there
Barn Owl has one bad ass grip with those claws. The Kes would get a very nasty injury scrapping with Barny.
Being an owl is not so easy after all😅
Hoo da thought?
Kestrel life is more stressing
There was a video of an barn owl in a Kestrel birds nest and then it keeps attacking it whenever it comes back the mother Kestrel lay some eggs and then one of the eggs hatched and then the owl killed the baby Kestrel and killed the poor baby kestrel
Awesome footage!
Owls are my divine anjels 🎉🙏🏽👌🏼❤️
I'm amazed at how nasty owl nests always are.
So scary!❤️❤️❤️
Owl e are so cute❤❤❤❤
American Kestrels AKA sparrow hawks nest in hollow trees or abandoned woodpecker nests . This likely this was an attempt by a female sparrow hawk steal the nest site from the Owl that didn't end well . Female sparrow hawks are larger than the males .
Calling a kestrel, a sparrowhawk is incorrect. Sparrowhawks are actually a species of accipiter. The term that you’re using, it’s quite dated, and antiquated
@@remyogun8270 from Audubon website AMERICAN SPARROW-HAWK, Falco sparverius ( AKA American Kestral )
Video was an American Barn owl against an American Sparrow Hawk squabbling over a nesting site . I don't believe we have any Eurasian sparrow hawks (accipiter) residing in the US . The bird in the video fighting with the barn owl is clearly not an accipiter

Felcon has air sperioty outside in broadday light
Wow that's nice 😅
Lechuza versus halcón qué pico
Owl trying to rope a dope the Kestrel
That owl will F that kestrel up if it goes in that hole. Badly
False
Bold owl just enter the nest to save baby insted ran away like pigeons
0:29 omg both of them fell
Actually 0:28
What is with these Kestrels constantly trying to steal the nests of owls? I had no idea this was even a real thing but it is. I have seen so many videos of it and in everyone...the owls are literally whooping the kestrels. Spanking them over their knee...if they had them. When will they learn to just find an uninhabited spot?
The hawk saw the baby owl and said: Oh shit you got a kid in there, I'm sorry I'll leave you be for the time being
I don’t wanna correct you but I believe kestrels are related to falcons
its not a hawk, its a falcon
@@captainfalcon6256 I say its hawk, therefore its a hawk
Pretty sure that was the male owl defending it’s mate against the kestrel

A not too smart Kestrel.
Barnies are Bigger.
Tawnies are even bigger
Eaglowls are even even bigger
Buzzards eat barn owls lol
@@si4632 Buzzards must be a fair bit bigger, I think they're the uks biggest birds of prey after sea eagles, definitely one of them.
Barn owls are pretty docile and non-aggressive

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Looks too big for kestrel, Merlin?
Merlin’s are smaller than a Kestrel.
@@alanstead1379 perhaps in the UK, in the US kestrels are the smaller
@@jdill1253 Irrespective, that’s a Kestrel and a Barn owl in the clip. Merlin’s have dark grey backs. Also, it’s in England.

In fact, it is said that owls can beat kestrel and eagles
Not any Barn owl. And Eagles are generally dominant over all owl species
Непонятно зачем он полез обратно в дом, там бы все яйца побились точно
そうだ、鷹が襲ってきたから逃がさないようにして鷹を食べよう。自分から来たんだから自業自得にさせればいい。
I HATE NATURE!!
It is one ruthless act after another.
That ain’t no kestrel! Kestrels are tiny, and wouldn’t dare mess with a barn owl.
