Description
The Rock Kestrel (Falco rupicolus) is a familiar sight in the skies of southern Africa, adept at thriving in various habitats. With its distinctive chestnut back, grey head, and striking black eye mask, the male is easily recognisable as it hovers effortlessly in the wind, searching for food. These agile hunters use two main strategies: perching on elevated vantage points like telephone poles or trees to scan the ground below, or hovering in place to inspect the terrain for potential prey. Well-suited to arid and semi-arid regions, Rock Kestrels nest in cliff cavities, old stick nests, or even on buildings.
Their resilience and adaptability allow them to flourish in diverse environments, and they are often seen visiting people’s gardens.
