The Kestrel is about 33 - 39cm (13 - 15") .
Scientific name: Falco tinnunculus
Habitat: Found in a wide variety of haunts including open or lightly wooded farmland, moors, wetlands and urban areas.
Description: Female slightly larger than male. Both are brownish on the upperparts, the male being more rufous and has blue-grey head and tail. Hovers frequently and indeed, is probably most often seen hovering alongside motorway and road verges. |
