We saw what was most likely a kestrel outside the nestbox yesterday. If you have time to put your eyes on this cam and post about it, we would really appreciate it:

Kestrel is home.

A kestrel is a small falcon.
It'd be easier to include them with our falcons.

Thanks, Shep - nice catch.  I was looking daily, then camera was out for a while.  So glad to see one back here.
