My kestrel's home at last safe and sound
She came back to the garden and was on our fence when I went to feed my other birds.
I offered her some food but she flew off.
I put the others away as they had been out sunning themselves on their perches.

Hide AdI put some food in the aviary but she wasn’t coming so I fed the others and she tried to steal my male kestrel’s food through the aviary wire.
I shot out from my hiding place as she’d gone down between the aviary and the fence and quickly offered her some food.
She grabbed the food and I grabbed her and put her back in her aviary.
After a thorough check she is fine and has suffered no ill-effects from her time out.
I’d like to say a big thank you to Simon Dell for his help in locating her after I’d thought her completely lost.
Thanks once again.
