This is absolutely wonderful. Superb footage and such intimate observations of the young family. Really loved it, thank you so much for posting it and for all your work and that of the Raptor Study Group. First class.

Yesterday I was able to be present when bird rescue released a Kestrel I had rescued! He was thrilled to fly for the first time! When I left, I saw him soaring above the landscape in circles. Thanks for not saying 'evolved'. Amazing how the mom makes sure each mouth gets fed. God is amazing!

What a delight to watch this stunning film about stunning birds that we live among. Thank you to all who made it possible for me to watch - whilst merely sitting in front of a screen!

Thank you so much for the great Documentary. Wonderful footage. When we can travel again Glasgow is now on my list of places to stay.

Beautiful moments of life captured, I'm documenting myself as I try to photograph one of those little guy. Great job and thanks for sharing!

Absolutely loved this film , best thing I have watched in a long time . Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication .

A lovely video and taken around my old home town into the bargain. I love all the raptors

Thank you so much for this lovely film! Beautiful.

Beautifully shot film one my favourite British birds. Thank you, we must all work hard to make our countryside safe for insects and the birds and plants that depend on them.

Congratulations on a brilliant production that captured the life of such a beautiful bird, I watched your video several times and I couldn’t help but notice that only 4 birds fledged, I shall go back and check but it appeared that all 5 chicks were doing really well and looked to be in good health and size, I know that it’s not often that the full brood get to fledge, due to food availability or best box accidents, but everything seemed to be perfect, just a shame all 5 never got to fly Thank you for taking the time to film, produce & post such a beautiful film

Congratulations on making such an accomplished and intimate film of the life of kestrels. Today I was fortunate enough to see a kill in front of me, in the deep midwinter, down here in Devon, which has given me a taste for the birds. But I'm seriously impressed by the patience you must have held to make all of this film. Thank you for posting.

Thank you for this video. I've been spotting a pair in my local woodland and they seem to be nesting - this has helped me understand them more.

regreted wacthing birds naturally in live side closelly. we have never saw this amazing view in my country. Thanks for posting a film hard working. Greeting from indonesia

great video .

Best kestrel video so far I’ve found on KZfaq

Hi There - Amazing video. I am from South Africa and we also have these here. At work we have a resident breeding pair. Unfortunately this year 3 of the 4 babies were blown of the nest and it is out of reach for me to put them back. I took one and friends of mine took the other 2. Growing well and another 2 weeks mine will be ready to fledge. Amazing little things.

A very impressive and amazing film!!! By the way, the kestrel is one of my favorite birds. Thanks for posting. Greetings from Switzerland.

Superb documentary work Steven 👍

Seen one in my garden twice in week. Lovely bird.

Beautiful bird family.

Great video. Thanks a lot. 👍👍👍👍👍

Loved it, fantastic 😊

fantastic footage

This was so much fun to watch. Someone told me a few weeks ago that Kestrel's identify their prey from scent and not purely on sight, how true is this?

wonderful, thank you!

amazing work....my favotite bird

Amazing footage 🐦🐦🐦

I loved this video. Every second of it. You are an artist. Beautiful to see God's creation in full display in the animal kingdom.

Awesome video 🦅😃

such a good video many thank

Wonderful film super parents !!

Beautiful video. I had the pleasure of a Kestrel drop in my yard, how it got there, I don't know. Must have left a little too early as it could only get about a foot off the ground. So, I fed it some beef and chicken during the day, where it went at night is anyone's guess. Maybe to dig up some bugs. In about a week it was strong enough to fly away, so glad. My wife wanted to know if we can keep it, and I said NO. It's wild, not accustomed to people. Got some nice pictures and videos of her while she hung around. BTW, what video equipment did you have stationed around? Great quality.

Great film

Amazing Video of my most beloved Bird of Prey. Well done and too see the love between Father and Mother and beyond is amazing... Ruthless killers with love aand best of all they Pray before every meal.

Well done!

Lesson from this video, parents always by your side and keep you save.

Amazing Thanks for Sharing Glasgow Urban Wildlife

Lovely 👍🏽

Good one.. thanks for sharing..

Nice clip.

Beautiful film. Guessing he was a first year male because of his plumage? I was part of a group that put a camera in a box for barn owls this year. Owls and kestrels fought but kestrels prevailed, fledging 3. Your film inspires me to do something similar. Thank you.

Moral of the story: If you're a small furry animal, don't live near where kestrels are nesting.

Quality footage,

Wonderful 👏👏👏

How much does it need to be fully developed ?? I have one line that . about a year old? And he still not fly yet.

This is a very young mail he still has his baby feather s his tail will go gray after first mault so will his head . I have a 2 year old mail

The bluish head tips us off

I have held an adult female kestrel on my arm ( :

Brilliant

Which of these two prefers a kestrel mouse? sparrow?

Where did the babies go?

Can you tell me about the red bands on the chicks legs please?

Is that water voles he's taking?

My 1st falcon

Thank you, this is my wife's phone but I am connected to this land it's in my blood as an ancestor of Rob Roy Macgregor, the Robinhood of Scotland. Royal is my race.

What, no crop circles?

멋진영상 ㆍ 굿 좋아요 하나

UK have two Raptors species:1.(Common Buzzard)/2.( Common Kestrel).

Plz send me back ground music link plz

There must not be any Jackdaws or Owls to threaten them.

Momma spoil the one who took the food that’s nice

Why is everyone calling these birds they don't look like birds.
