At the same location where I found the litte owl that I showed you some days ago there was also a Family of falcons breeding in a hole. It was funny watching the male falcon bringing some mice and other food he found to his female family member that was protecting the nest carefully the whole time. Since Bee-Eates are also living in these mudholes next to the kestrels and the owl, it was pretty loud all day because of the noises the bee eaters made. The female kestrel didn't leave the nest at anytime but was constantly protecting the entrance of the hole. I assume she was a bit afraid of the loud sounds the "Bee-Eaters" made during the day.
