New Quay Birds of Prey
The Kestrel
Falco tinnunculus
This is our cheeky Kestrel, Bob.
One of our native British species, this tiny falcon is found throughout the UK and Ireland.
In Ireland they are known as
Pocaire Gaoithe
and
in Welsh
Cudyll Troedgoch
They are equally at home on farmland, moorland, sea cliffs and are even found in urban environments.
