Kestrel Nest Box – Wallingford, Oxfordshire
You are watching a live feed of a Kestrel nest box located in the United Kingdom. Since 2015 the CEH has followed Kestrel nesting via live webcams, offering a glimpse into the breeding behavior of these birds of prey.

Went over to Pioneer, the nursing facility around lunchtime; Rick had coffee and a chocolate donut for b-fast, then they brought him an Ensure; he drank all of that. We brought him a piece of chocolate cake to celebrate his 75th b-day. He got a shower & was pretty much wiped out afterwards and slept the rest of the day. Took Chuck to Sonic for lunch; he needed food! 🍔 He’s mostly too tired to cook and has been eating cinnamon toast crunch cereal every day; it’s good, but geez … Got my Kroger order placed for tomo pick-up in… Read more »

Oh yes I remember the gifts and the rat that lunged at me when I cornered it, my cat Bonnie was a wizard at bringing in gifts, lol ! 😂
Good Morning! Cloudy and 68 going up to 88 with afternoon thunderstorms possible. Yesterday I dropped off more donation items at Matthews Help Center. It feels good to be making more progress in purging items I/we no longer use, need or love. Today I need to go grocery shopping today and pay a few bills. Last evening I used the air fryer to bake a large 14 oz potato. It turned out so good with a crispy skin and the inside was nice and fluffy. I only added butter and sour cream. It was the best baked potato I’ve had… Read more »
Your potato sounds yummy
Did you oil the skin?
No I didn’t. I know that’s an option but I chose not to. However, Craig likes to oil and salt the skin when he does an air fryer baked potato.
Hi Kathy,
I was thinking of baking potatoes in my air fryer. I have only made French Fries. Now I will have to give it a go. How long did you bake yours?
It honestly can make you feel lighter giving away items that we are not using or using much.
I hope you will not have any severe thunderstorms. 😮
My large 14 oz potato took about 60 minutes at 400° (some guidelines call for 390°). I think medium potatoes are done in about 45 minutes. Make sure you turn them over halfway through cooking.
Here’s a good reference for using an air fryer to bake potatoes…

Thank you!😀
You’re welcome! 🤗
Thank you Kathy, it never occurred to me to bake a potato in the Air Fryer!
Craig was the one that suggested doing that 😊
Looks good Kathy.😘
Good morning, Sunny and 63 going up to 81. It is so good to have my laptop back, I missed it and won’t go again without it. We went to Freeport to celebrate our anniversary yesterday and for the first time we went to Linda Beans Maine Restaurant. Linda Bean was a granddaughter to LLBean founder. We were able to get a table up on the balcony and it was a gorgeous day, we really enjoyed. The LLBean Flagship Reboot has been under construction since Jan. 2023 and is just about to reopen next month! We could not go in… Read more »
The sky looked beautiful yesterday with big white puffy clouds. Taken from the balcony.😀
Hi Jenn
I’m glad y’all were blessed with such a lovely day for celebrating your anniversary. What a beautiful blue sky 💙
Thank you Kathy, it was such a gorgeous day to be out walking about. So many people there and so many children school shopping. I like to watch people.😀
My mother loved to watch people too 💕 Sometimes she wanted me to take her to the nearby mall so we could sit there for a bit while she watched people 😄
My mother did too, I think I inherited it from her.😊
You were missed Jenn!!! Great picture of Denny. Sounds like you had a nice time. How was Denny’s appointment?
Thank you Ardy.♥ Denny had a good appointment, he liked this doctor. It was for his Inspire, it has been a long road since his surgery in 2023 with ups and downs. He did get a good doctor in S. Carolina last winter who was able to get him on the right ‘number’ to have it on when sleeping. This doctor was a referral from the VA he is a a civilian doctor but since the Veterans Administration does not have a doctor in that field they refer patients to civilian docs. This is still pretty new and lots of… Read more »
Glad the appt went well.
Lovely picture ! 👌
Good morning
I cleaned and did laundry yesterday…..108° yesterday and no end in sight right now.
Most of the day was consumed watching TV and hearing about Dolly. It was so unexpected even though
I had been hearing she was sick but…..had no idea just how sick. RIP Dolly 💔
Hi Ardy.
So very sad about Dolly.😥.
You seem to have a never ending heat wave.😓.
Yes sad about Dolly…..Yes Tucson can be VERY hot.
Hi Ardy,
Amazing how Dolly stayed so true to herself, she was so kind.
Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
A humid night ad this morning very cloudy and humid.
A yellow warning is out today for severe thunder storms and heavy rain and we are just on the edge of the yellow area.
Although they do say the chances are low in my area.
A pity because we badly need a good downpour now.
We might get lucky and have some welcome rain this week. Off to get the paper now see you all in a while.😀😘
Hello Ice
With any luck you will get rain.
That kitty better hang on.
Hi Ardy.
No luck i’m afraid sun is out now no sign of these so called thunder storms.
I hope it has a good set of claws.lol.😀😘
😆😻
Good morning Ice,
Oh no I thought your hot weather was behind you. Sorry for the humidity it is awful.
I so hope you will not get severe thunder storms. I just saw a picture of a young woman who was caught in a sudden hail storm, she knelt over to protect her baby and her body was covered with terrible bruises.
Hi Jenn.
Welcome home you were missed.
Hot and sunny now Jenn no hint of thunder storms or any rain for that matter.
There has been some big ones upcountry but us in the South are still waiting for a good rainfall.
Oh dear must have been some big hail stones.😀😘
Thank you Ice, it is good to be back at camp. 😊
Well that was a mixed up forecast for you, good grief!
Hi Ice
I hope the rain reached your area 😘
I am in a state of shock and so very sad over the news that Dolly Parton died today 😭
RIP Dolly Parton 💔
Oh I am too Kathy!! I was stunned when I heard the news~!!!
😪
Such a rerrible loss.😪
Yes it was a shock so unexpected and sad!
I was born the same day and year as Dolly and have always followed her.
A lovely kind woman through and through, she is going to be missed by so many !
Rest well Dolly. 💔
