31 Days Wild: 18th May 2025

Today’s Richmond Park sighting was of a kestrel. It’s screechy call first caught my attention and looking round it was perched high on an old oak tree. Another kestrel flew in and I suspect entered a hole in the tree where likely they had made a nest. 

I see kestrels fairly often in the Park – often because of the distinctive way that they can hover in the air.
