Our kestrel
We create living spaces – even for kestrels
A kestrel had chosen the window niche in the roof of one of our residential buildings in Mögeldorf as its nesting place. In consultation with the Species Protection Department of the Environmental Office of the City of Nuremberg, the attic window was opened in the early autumn of 2020 and a nesting box with a webcam and an additional small room were installed there to protect the birds. This created a new living space for the feathered inhabitants.
Our kestrels is back since March 2025 and we are already looking forward to watching them breed again via webcam.
Detailed information on kestrels can be found here.

Our kestrels are showing themselves at the nesting box for the first time this year. We are very happy that they are back and hope for many kestrel chicks. In the video you can see the female's first mating attempt, which was unsuccessful.
