Lesser Kestrel

Here we have are few photos of the Lesser Kestrel. A small, elegant falcon that breeds in towns, steep cliffs, ruins, etc and usually at low level.

Food - insects, caught on ground or in the air. Nest - niche or hole in building, on cliff-ledge, scrape, no material used.










We spent most of the morning watching them fly off in search of food for their young .
They have a call that would alert the young they are inbound with food and the chicks
would come to the entrance of the nest to take the food time and time again.

It was a great morning,  hope you enjoy the photos.
