  • Rock Kestrel
    264 Falconidae: falcons and kestrels brooding young. Therefore the small increase in reporting rates in six of the eight Zones during winter is probably related to seasonal changes in conspicuousness, rather than to any large- scale influx of migrants from outside the region. Reporting rates for the Tarkastad district, for example, increased during winter, while direct observation showed that over half of the population actually left the area (Van Zyl 1994b). Although the models do not suggest movements within southern Africa, a more detailed analysis of Rock Kestrel movements in South Africa, largely based on a more refined examination of atlas reporting rates, suggested a northerly and easterly movement away from south- western breeding areas during winter (Van Zyl et al. 1994). Breeding: Breeding was recorded in all Zones, mainly September–January, peaking October–December. There are no obvious seasonal differences between the Zones, although in the eastern Cape Province (Zone 8) it bred slightly later than in the rest of the region. Interspecific relationships: It overlaps widely with Greater and Lesser Kestrels in southern Africa. It moves into the eastern grassland habitats most exploited by the Lesser Kestrel during the winter when that species is absent (Van Zyl et al. 1994). Historical distribution and conservation: Boshoff et al. (1983) found no difference in distribution in the Cape Prov- ince, comparing the periods 1700–1969 and 1970–79. The distrib- ution map similarly shows no change in distribution, the species being largely absent from the central Kalahari regions and the far northeast during all three time periods, although the map shows Rock Kestrel many more records from the western Karoo, presumably due to Rooivalk better coverage.

  • 1 Systematics and Evolution of Kestrels
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47062-9 — The Kestrel David Costantini , Giacomo Dell'Omo Excerpt More Information 1 Systematics and Evolution of Kestrels 1.1 Chapter Summary The family Falconidae constitutes a group of small to medium-sized diurnal raptors whose monophyly is strongly supported. Kestrels are included in the subfamily Falconinae. There are at least 13 species that belong to the kestrel group, but recent genetic studies suggest that the number of kestrel species might be larger, possibly 16. The paleontological and molecular evidence is congruent in suggesting an evolutionary radiation of kestrels from the Late Miocene (4.0–9.8 million years ago) through the Early Pleistocene. However, the geographic area where kestrels originated and dispersed from is unclear. 1.2 Diversification of Falcons The Falconidae is a monophyletic family of diurnal birds of prey that occupy a wide variety of ecological niches and geographic regions (White et al., 1994). Three subfamilies are currently recognised and their validity is supported by both molecular and morphological data (Griffiths, 1999; Griffiths et al., 2004; Fuchs et al., 2012, 2015): (i) Falconinae (falcons, falconets and kestrels), (ii) Herpetotherinae (forest falcons Micrastur sp. and laughing falcon Herpetotheres cachinnans) and (iii) Polyborinae (caracaras) (Figure 1.1). Dickinson (2003) has recognised 11 genera and 64 species of Falconidae, but figures can vary slightly across authors. Both the Herpetotherinae and the Polyborinae occur only in the New World, while the Falconinae (the subfamily to which kestrels belong) are widespread across both the New and Old World with 46 species, 40 of which belong to the genus Falco (Fuchs et al., 2015).

  • Smith, C, a List of the Birds of Somerset, Part 2, Vol 16
    0m^r^^r BY MR. CECIL SMITH. S no list of our Somersetshire Birds has been pub- jL\. lished in the proceedings of our Society since that of Mr. Baker, in the first volume, dated 1849-50, it seems now to be quite time for a new list, as naturally in those twenty years some additions to the avi fauna of the county have to be made. I have now been able to add eleven new species not included in Mr. Baker’s list. On the other hand I have omitted several which he had included. As I did not think it right to increase the list by adding any of the rarer and more accidental visitants without being able to give a distinct authority for their having been found in the county, I have in all such cases given the place and date, and a reference to the authority on which I have relied. The list therefore, as it now stands, includes 227 species ; of these 63 are our ordinary common residents, 27 common regular summer, and 25 common and regular winter, visitants ; the rest may be considered only acci- 42 PAPERS, ETC. dental or rare occasional visitants, or such as are now becoming nearly extinct.

The present study renders the results of the observations made in the biotopes located within the perimeter of International Airport Craiova and its close proximity (0–3 km), during all the seasons between 2013 and 2014. During the research, we recorded a total of 58 species of birds, many of them showing a high degree of adaptability to the environmental conditions marked by an increased anthropogenic impact. Large-sized species that fly highly and the species characterized by a gregarious behaviour, represent a real threat to aircraft safety. The temporary or longer presence of birds in the area of the airport is due to the optimum living conditions generated by a series of natural and anthropogenic factors. Besides the enumeration and presentation of the way these factors act, we developed a series of measures that can reduce or counteract the area attractiveness to birds by eliminating or restricting to a minimum the trophic resources and opportunities for rest.
