This is a young female Kestrel That I released back to the wild recently
Here she is at 8 days old
Note the 50p as a size guide
11 days old and she is not looking quite so helpless
She is even more alert at 15 days old
Here she is at 20 days old Note the feathers are starting to appear
She is now 24 days old and capable of feeding herself
33 days old and looking like a young Kestrel
Fitness training pre-release this makes it all worth while
