I love kestrels! They may be the 'common kestrel' but they're not as common as they used to be, so they're even more magnificent than they were when I first saw them.

I’ve read that they’ve been in decline for a few decades now! Sad but not surprising :( and I agree, it’s always a treat to see one 😊thank you for your comment Juliet

Fascinating article! I really enjoyed reading about your observations on the kestrels. I see American Kestrels near my home and always appreciate them.

Thank you, Amaranta! The American Kestrels really are colorful, esp in direct sunlight. They are small but fierce raptors.
