A photo of a family of falcons. There are six kestrels in this nest box, all looking straight into the camera.
Six pairs of sharp eyes stare straight into the lens – a full kestrel family, snug together in their nest box. The young birds huddle close, alert and curious, with soft, downy feathers still hinting at their growth. The parents remain watchful in the background, calm and protective. This photo captures a rare, intimate moment: a glimpse into the heart of a kestrel family. The symmetry in their posture, the unity in their gaze, and the quiet of the wooden box come together in an image full of life, vulnerability, and connection.
