I invite you to watch two stories 🦉🦉 - LEOs courtship ❤️ including food dance, rodent delivery and nest scraping. Each story takes place in Hungary in March 2024 and each ends in a fight of Long-eared owl (Female) with Kestrel (Female). In the first case, the nest box belonged to long-eared owls in previous seasons and Kestrels want to take it over this season. They did not succeed. Mrs LEO won.
The nest box which is shown in the second part of the video belonged to Kestrels in previous seasons but in 2024, LEOs occupied it during the night and Kestrels during the day. Thus, when Mrs LEO had her first egg and stayed in the nest box during the day, a problem arose as Kestrels wanted to have this nest box for themselves and fought for it. In this case, Kestrels won and Mrs LEO left her egg in the nest box. Kestrels do not eat the egg but guard the nest box. Another nest box has been installed next to it, so that both Kestrels and LEOs could have their own place but Kestrels guard both nest boxes now and LEOs do not come to any of them.
Enjoy! ❤️

@muwizar Thanks a lot for your nice comment. ❤️😍🥰 I hope everything goes well for both LEO families and that at least one of them stays in the nest box with the live cam. I hope Kestrels will be able to find their nest box, too. It would be great if Kestrels wanted to move into the new nest box made for them.

@arlingtontrains7 Yes. Later on the kestrel started incubating her eggs and this egg too.

What measures has the nest box to fit for the Leos? I would love to diy one and fix it onto our big birch tree ❤

@nanilu6372 You can find the link to the live feed in the description of this video and ask there. Madarles experts should help you. I do not know the measurements of this box.
