The first chick hatched on May 3rd, with a second hatching later that day. A third and fourth sibling arrived over the following two days and, two days later, a final chick hatches out. Out of the clutch, one egg fails. Kestrel parents now busy Apollo and Athena must work to keep the chicks fed - and safe. Watch them join forces to see off an intruder - Tappy the barn owl. *ABOUT ME* ____________ I am a British wildlife artist and filmmaker on a mission to share my love for wildlife with the world.
