Kestrel in Flight - Kestrel hovering, scanning for prey
Kestrel in flight, hunting along the cliffs of Cornwall. Kestrels hunt for small mammals amongst the heathland found along the southern cliff banks of Cornwall. One of the amazing qualities of Kestrels in flight is their ability to hover in perfect stillness, seeming to effortlessly pause in mid-air as they hunt for prey. Kestrels are a type of Falcon, they hover with their pointed wings arching out in the wind.
