The Common Kestrel Falco tinnunculus is one of the UK’s most familiar and widespread birds of prey, absent only from Shetland and parts of north-west Scotland and central Wales. It nests in tree cavities, old buildings, and abandoned crows’ nests, typically laying between four and five eggs. Once the chicks hatch, both parents share the responsibility of feeding and caring for the young. Kestrels favour open grassland habitats, where they hunt small mammals and birds.
