Kestrel - webcam from the nest - Slovakia
Kestrel - description
The nest of the common kestrel is located in Považská Bystrica.
Poxtail is a small falcon-like predator slightly larger than the wild dovecote. The weight of the male is approximately 180 g and 220 g. The wingspan is between 68-80 cm. However, the data may vary widely, as kerosene has a large geographical variation not only in size but also in color. Like all falcons, the kestrel has a well-sharpened wings and a long tail.
A distinctive feature is the reddish-brown back of dark-stained males, in females and youngsters with dark transversal stripes or waves. Handhelds are dark. The bottom of the body is lighter with similar dark spots as on the back of the young is a significant longitudinal stain. The males have a crown and the head of the gray head and the whitish throat is lined with a distinctive black beard on the cheek. Gray, the tail is usually without stripes, only a wide dark band at the end. The females and youngs have a brown tail with a dark transverse stripe.

Kestrel - live
2.4.2021 Broadcast online again, but some people are fooling around.
Petro, they had already appeared, they were hidden behind those photographs
Hello Petro,
where are all the kestrel, that some of them would fly out of the nest, I did not see them for 4 days, now I have found a new address for them and there are only 2 that they would be the smallest, thanks

Hello Dasha, thank you for the link. I know that the master broadcasts on YT, but since he conceived the broadcast as a political promotion, I did not resume the broadcast on Zoocam. We are interested in nature here, politics does not belong here. Thank you for understanding.
consent though it was interesting
The camera in Slovakia probably broke down the camera, the recording has been running there since yesterday, it was said that there was a big storm
30.6 - 9:20 online transmission again
29.6 - 22:00 Update
Little information.
There is currently no online transmission.
There was a minor storm today, it is possible that the camera's connectors got wet.
See you tomorrow.
The falcons are fine
Good evening Petro,
the kestrel somehow froze or petrified, I miss it, something older was spinning there in the morning
Good evening, Dasha, the transmission has been very choppy, it hasn't been almost an hour and a half.
So in the end, three climbed out of the nest, two soon returned, the third enjoyed under the Balcony sign, and finally returned. Dinner arrived, one squirrel snatched it only for himself, she can't portion, she couldn't swallow it all, so I "borrow".
28.6. one squirrel climbed out of the nest 2,05 and there is another
So now the parent brought them something and the cubs could break as she hurried to grab something, it could have been a squirrel, it had a long tail, they might crumple and scream for their lives, they were probably very hungry

Hello Petro,
it is possible that the master is in Pov. Another nearby kestrel nest near Bystrice? I can hear them, even if those on the camera are asleep or have some cages with other birds.
Today I didn't see at all that their parents fed them, or did you or someone who also watches them, the transmission didn't work in the morning
Hello Dasha, I really don't know if there are any other birds around. Maybe it's the parents who aren't in the camera. Today they had enough food, the master regularly writes food deliveries on FB. https://www.facebook.com/zivakamera/
The two biggest young kestrel are much larger than the others, so the two little ones barely steal a bite, I would write to the gentleman to send me the little one, I would fatten her, how come they no longer have a chick for lunch, now that the parent brings a mouse and is the biggest one is there, so he simply takes it for himself and climbs into a corner somewhere and the others are unlucky
25.6. the smallest is still the first in feeding, and my parents have been trying only four big mice during the time I've been watching them. According to the sign, already on the balcony, it is the third time that the kestrel nests there.
24.6 - 15:25 ringing
23.6. I hadn't seen it before, feeding all five, and the little one stole food from one of the bigger ones right from the beak
Hello Petro,
Don't know what happened to the transmission? What is running there now is from the morning, there were two smallest cubs, until only around 14 pm the master exchanged them for 3 larger ones.
Hello Dáša, today the transmission was very choppy, currently it doesn't even go to YT. Maybe it will happen.
The transfer is already running
Hello Petro,
it's true with those chickens, yesterday and today I saw the third chicken, which was brought there by my parents, the first was still alive, it's good that Mr. does it like this, thank him, at least all the chicks will survive, since last year so much perished, I would immediately take one, probably the smallest for fattening, she is poor and the other a little bigger takes everything from her, when I notice the call, so she always has it very full, which will never happen to the smallest, right now they have a chick, so hopefully both little ones will be satisfied
Well, it's a little rough for me too.
20.6 Kestrel receives small chicks… here is a contribution from the master where the kestrel nests:
It seems that the rescue mission with the chickens was successful and the acute danger of the death of the two smallest falcon pups was avoided at the last minute.
Yesterday, a minimum of food got into the nest and practically nothing escaped the two. The smallest falcon could no longer lift his head.
Today, at first it looked like it was lying helplessly.
Three chickens and two mice have significantly improved the situation this morning and their future is already in a better light.
To avoid everything, the situation is temporarily solved by alternating in the nest when feeding. Stronger three separately, weaker two separately.
When the situation stabilizes and the weaker ones get stronger, they will feed together again.
I recommend to watch videos from yesterday (June 19.06.20, 20.06.20) and today (June XNUMX, XNUMX)
Many thanks to the company JANEK sro, which helped our falconers with chickens, which were excluded from breeding due to growth errors. Here they helped save the lives of others.
Have a nice day, JŠ.

the gentleman is great, I bow!
19.6. thanks Dáša for pointing out, the gentleman is really good if he continues to take care of the squirrels like this, then the little ones will survive if there is enough food. The two little ones were really crammed. He even gave them a new bigger box, a very dedicated gentleman! The little ones have a problem comparing themselves under their mother, there are too many of them
Petro, I've had these kestrel released for a long time now, so I saw the gentleman take the 3 bigger ones, hide them so that the parents could feed the two small ones, the one one is very small, the one a little bigger stood on it and the little one got almost nothing , but when they finished, the parent flew away, so the master changed them again, put a bigger 2 and took the small ones, so I hope he fed them a bit, I've already seen in another video how people feed them with tweezers, they give them about chicken, so maybe they all survive, it seems to me that they are still hungry, as soon as one of the parents arrives, they shout and want something in their beaks, but they are very cute, just like children when they are young.
Parents should fly to the field for overpopulated voles, there are too many of them and there probably won't be much here
It is said that it rains a lot today, so there was little food. The Lord also replaced their nest… ..friday19,6,2020 at 20,20h. an accelerated rescue action of fallen crumbs was necessary and the nest was replaced with larger and higher side walls
"Feeding predators"
15.43
Thanks to Petro for the new address, I immediately bookmarked it, I already have a lot of those addresses there, the eagles are already big, the eagles are also growing like out of water, maybe they will soon have eggs in Sydney, already I probably saw the female sitting on the nest, as if sitting on eggs, but there was nothing there, she was just training and preparing
You're welcome. They already have an egg in Sydney, the female laid it yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud4Rb9sDvXc
18.6. hungry paterns
They are definitely not hungry, today the female fed 3 times
Update:
Online broadcast from the camera on the nest of falcons in Považská Bystrica There are still 5 of them, but the two youngest of them are too weak to keep up with older siblings in the fight for food.
They probably wouldn't live in the wild anymore.
Therefore, sometimes, about once a day, I give them a chance to eat by hiding their three older and stronger siblings outside the nest for a while and the female feeds the two smallest ones for now.
In this way, they have a chance to eliminate their handicap and will probably see a successful flight from the nest.
So far, this is how it works.
15.6 New camera
