Description
The common kestrel ( _ Falco tinnunculus_ ) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel , Eurasian kestrel , or Old World kestrel. In the United Kingdom, where no other kestrel species commonly occurs, it is generally just called " kestrel ".
This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America. It has colonized a few oceanic islands, but vagrant individuals are generally rare; in the whole of Micronesia for example, the species was only recorded twice each on Guam and Saipan in the Marianas.
