when i was doing surveys yesterday up on a moor on my way driving backdown i saw a male kestrel fly into a small quarry i thought sit and watch it see if it maybe thinking of nesting there, it flew down onto top of quarry on small edge where grassy bit still was. I watched it lift its foot up to this beak and then push something into small hole in grass. i waited for him to fly away so i could go look what he was doing, when climbed up to it noticed that he had brought a field vole in and hid it in the hole, i got pics on other guys camera that i will add onto this when i get them.
but they way the kestrel was going was has he was stashing the vole for later i had never seen this before nor has the guy i work with, has anybody seen this before?
