Athena has a no-nonsense approach to raising a family and has clear expectations of how Apollo, the younger of the pair, should play his part. Thankfully he is a very attentive partner. KESTREL EGGS This is the second of what I expect will be a 6-7 egg clutch. Kestrels lay their eggs every 2-3 days so I'm expecting the next egg to be laid very soon. Keep your eye on the live nest cam for a chance to watch Athena lay live: https://www.youtube.com/live/qULW9LE9uhE?feature=share #kestrel #robertefuller #falcon I am a British wildlife artist based in Thixendale, North Yorkshire, UK. I build ideal habitats to encourage wildlife into my garden and use nest cams to study their behaviour. These studies inform my paintings. I share the best of my video research on this channel for free.
