ATHENA THE KESTREL
This is Athena and she is well known for her forthright manner. Watch her snatch the mouse her partner Apollo has brought for her and hop away to devour it in alone.

KESTREL COURTSHIP
In the early stages of courtship, male kestrels bring their partners a succession of gifts to prove they can provide for their mates and their future chicks.

WATCH STORY

I am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK. I build ideal habitats to encourage wildlife into my garden and use nest cams to study their behaviour. These studies inform my paintings. I share the best of my video research on this channel for free. If you would like to support my work please consider a small donation here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=A52ZHAMJZC3J4

Or of course you may like to purchase my artwork which you will find on my website: https://www.robertefuller.com. Many of the paintings are portraits of the creatures you watch here!
