Nankeen Kestrel
The Nankeen Kestrel (Falco cenchroides), native to Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands, is one of the smallest species of falcon (about 31 to 35 cm (12 to 14 in) in length). Unlike other raptors, it does not rely on speed to catch its prey. Instead, it simply perches in an exposed position, but it also has a distinctive technique of hovering over crop and grasslands.Photo: Fir0002

too many pictures?

[edit]

just wondering, maybe 4 large pictures is too much for such a short article?

maybe one or two can be removed or they can be made a gallery
