The Torenvalk eggs never hatched, the nest was abandoned. I checked often for two weeks and only ever saw eggs sitting there, then there were lots of flies and other bugs visiting as I guess they went bad. Are the kestrals visiting the nest now?

Yes, the falcon chicks do spend a lot of time sleeping, and pooping and eating - typical babies!

The address for this site came up as a news items on the VetPet listserve that I belong to, otherwise I'm sure I would never have found it.

Has anyone else seen the kingfisher?
