Photo of the week is Kestrel

Ruovesi 6.7.2004

Tuulihaukalla oli pöntössä peräti neljä poikasta, vaikka Keski-Suomen myyrätilanne on ollut heikko. Erikoista oli, että naaras ruokki poikasia yksin! Kuva on otettu kello kahdeksan illalla.

Kestrel had four fledglings in a nesting box, though there had been few voles and mice in the beginning of summer in the Middle-Finland. The special thing was that the female was feeding the fledglings alone! The picture has been taken eight o'clock in the evening.
