Athena the kestrel is a formidable falcon. And she'll do anything to protect her family and home.
Athena takes the lead
Athena the kestrel is always ready to face any challenges that cross her path. Already this year she has chased away a rival; Jenny, a female kestrel from Fotherdale who briefly caught Athena's long-term partner Apollo's attention.
Now she's guarding her favourite nest site, Ash Hollow from competitors. She even stands up to a tawny owl when it tries to evict her and, later, when jackdaws attempt a raid on the nest, Athena takes the lead - chasing the jackdaws away. This pair return to Ash Hollow every year to raise their young - and every year they show how true partnership is at the heart of their survival!
