Kestrel Action

Over an hour and a half last Saturday, we observed the Kestrels mating three times.

This second time was the most spectacular from our cameras’ point of view. According to my camera clock, this particular copulation lasted 8 seconds.

About 20 minutes later, the male captured a Northern Italian Wall Lizard.

Which he then gave to the female.

She flew it to the sex tree (two of the three copulations were there), but was chased off by two Blue Jays.
