Least Concern

The Fox Kestrel is a falconid raptor of Arabia, the Horn of Africa, and nearby drylands. It hunts from fast flight or exposed perches, taking birds, insects, bats, or small mammals. Strong pointed wings, keen eyesight, and bold territorial behavior help it exploit cliffs, trees, grasslands, farms, wetlands, or coastlines depending on the species.
