Choughs and kestrel at Castlemartin

Observations of chough behaviour at several chough nests in Castlemartin Range today suggested that some probably still had small young being brooded. It has been a late breeding season and it looks like fledging will be later than usual.  

A female kestrel drew attention as she entered a crack near the Furzenips at Freshwater West. She might have been just sheltering from the rain? It isn’t a known breeding site so will need to be watched further.
