tinnunculus

Updated: May 9, 2025

KESTREL. Falco tinnunculus, Linnaeus. French, "Faucon cresserelle." The Kestrel is by far the commonest hawk in the Islands, and is resident throughout the year. I do not think that its numbers are at all increased during the migratory season. It breeds in the rocky parts of all the Islands.
