ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________

Apollo & Athena
These kestrels are now an experienced pair and this is the fourth year they have nested in Ash Wood, a restored woodland habitat.

Six kestrel eggs
This clutch size is quite typical for the pair, although often not all eggs hatch. Last year Athena laid five eggs.

Incubation
Kestrels normally incubate for around 30 days, so we expect to be able to watch the chicks hatch out next month.
