About the kestrel

The kestrel is a medium size bird that roams open landscapes, fields and along motorways.
In Latin, the kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) means "falcon with pure sound". This midsized bird has a long tail and narrow wings and is recognizable by its hovering while searching for prey. Kestrels are often seen by highways and fields while hunting for small rodents. They nest in high places, such as hollow trees and old crows' nests, and are comfortable nesting close to human habitats. They have been called "church falcon", since they also nest in church towers.
