Stock Photo: Common Kestrel, Llanos De Caceres, Spain
ID 248521882 © 2circles | Megapixl.com
The Spanish Llanos de Caceres are a sample of the pseudo-steppe habitats formed by the degradation of the oldest dehesas in Extremadura. Listed as a special protection area for birds, it is undoubtedly one of the best places for observing steppe birds and large birds of prey. The common kestrel is small falcon with distinctive male plumage: gray head, rusty back, gray tail with broad black tip. This bird of prey inhabits open and lightly wooded country, farmlands, grasslands, and heathlands; often seen over grassy areas beside roads and at airports. He perches on wires and posts, and typically hunts by hovering, at times fairly high overhead.
