What would you do? Kestrel vs mallard

[wellies101]

Due to hot demand an update on the situation.

As I said I've left well alone apart from occasional views from a good distance. The pair of............Kestrels have been seen around the box and in the tree, but not in the box itself. However, no mallards have been seen near the box whatsoever so hopefully they've given up.

I'll update if any more developments arise.

Our blue tit cam has got 11 young from 12 eggs. There may be 12, but things are a bit cramped in there and its difficult to count them all at the moment. They started hatching on Sunday.

Tell you what, if that duck sits on kestrel eggs, she's gonna get a hell of a shock when they start hatching!

Great news about the Blue Tits

I'd probably set up a camera or video trained on the box from a safe distance

Shoot the ducks and roast with garlic..

Only kidding...
