KESTREL FAMILY
The story of this kestrel family has captured the hearts of those who watch my live nest cameras. It began when the female, Mrs Kes, suddenly disappeared and the chicks seemed sure to perish - until their incredible kestrel dad Mr Kes, learned how to take care of them himself.

KESTREL CHALLENGE
But it wasn't all plain sailing and here you can see one of his tougher days as a single dad. It's raining, the wind is howling, and the chicks are mobbing him for dinner!

These studies inform my paintings. I share the best of my video research on this channel for free.
