ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Fatal raids
Watch as first a tawny owl barges past the female kestrel, ignoring her screeches of protests, and crushes an egg in the scuffle that follows. Not long afterwards, the kestrel nest is raided again, this time by a jackdaw, and yet another egg is lost. Then the tawny owl is back again and tragically destroys yet another precious egg .
Resilient despite tragedy
Sadly the kestrel pair lost two out of seven eggs during the scuffle to defend their precious brood, but they carry on in spite of the problems and go on to incubate the remaining five. Where most birds would have abandoned their eggs, this stalwart kestrel pair carry on!
