The Top End is currently hosting an influx of Nankeen Kestrels, with these birds being observed in most suitable grassland patches in and near Darwin. This is speculated to be a result of good breeding conditions and a ready supply of small mammals in inland Australia in the last two years, with the birds now dispersing throughout the mainland and beyond. Large numbers of kestrels have also been reported at Christmas Island. The image at left shows four of a clutch of five kestrels that successfully fledged in Canberra recently.
