The Kestrel Hawk.
(Falco tinnunculus.)
A handsome bird with yellow legs, a brown back, a
spotted breast and a rounded tail. It is also called the
Windhover on account of its stationary hovering flight.
It is a bird of prey feeding on rats, mice, voles, frogs
and shrews, searching the ground for them while hovering
at a height of forty to fifty feet. It often uses the old nest
of a magpie or crow, and lays from four to six buff-white
eggs very thickly mottled with reddish.brown splashes.
