Torenvalknest Falco tinnunculus met tien eieren bij de Zeedijk, Tholen

In the southwestern Netherlands, a Kestrel pair nesting on a hay stack in a barn produced ten eggs in April 2010. The sequence of laying indicated that the eggs were laid by a single female, which was borne out by the fact that – despite frequent visitsa second female was never seen. At least nine of the eggs hatched, of which eight fledged. The large number of uneaten voles and moles showed that local food supply must have been excellent.
