What is a predator for kestrels?

Kestrels, small birds of prey, face threats from various predators, including larger raptors such as hawks and owls. Additionally, mammals like foxes and domestic cats can pose a risk, especially to young or injured kestrels. Nesting kestrels may also be vulnerable to opportunistic predators like raccoons and crows. Overall, while kestrels are skilled hunters, they must remain vigilant against these potential threats.


How do kestrels catch their prey?

Kestrels catch their prey primarily by using a hunting technique called "hovering," where they remain suspended in the air by flapping their wings rapidly while facing into the wind. This allows them to spot small mammals, insects, and birds from a high vantage point. Once they identify their target, kestrels dive down to capture it with their sharp talons. Their keen eyesight and agility make them effective hunters in a variety of habitats.
