Kestrel 
Fdlco tinnunculus 
The Eurasian populations, which are 
partly migratory, winter as far south 
as the northern Belgian Congo, Tan¬ 
zania, Arabia, India and Indochina. 
Banding recoveries in Tunisia show a 
strong eastward tendency in spring. 
Presumably birds wintering in or 
passing through Egypt on migration 
breed in western Siberia. 
Habitat: Open woodland and forested 
steppes, river valleys, cultivated 
fields, pastureland, seacoasts and 
even towns and villages.
