I have not noticed any change in Kestrel sightings around my part of the county. Tealham Moor usually has 2 or 3, the B3191 from Meare to Glastonbury often has one on the telephone line and I see one regularly over fields just north of Westhay village.
Where have all the Kestrels gone this winter or spring for that matter?
I routinely (most days) see Peregrine(s) on the South Levels but have ONLY 3 records of Kestrel (West Sedge Moor).....................
