  • Rats are opportunistic feeders who eat almost anything they can find, including bird eggs.
    Raptors, such as this female lesser kestrel, will protect their nests from potential threats, even sometimes to the death. They are known to vigorously defend their young, using their sharp talons and beaks to fend off intruders. Luckily, the female kestrel was able to scare it away in the bed.
    These videos are meant to document the lives of wild falcons and other birds in order that we can learn more for both educational & research purposes and serve as an aid for the species conservation effort. We do not set up/ stage or intervene. All the videos in this stream are documenting wild lesser kestrels.

    Since 2006, Ramat Hanadiv has been participating in efforts to rehabilitate lesser kestrels in Israel. As part of this activity, many lesser kestrels arrive to Ramat Hanadiv yearly - most of them as fledglings and nestlings that fell from nest and some were injured adults. After treatment and acclimatization, around 50 kestrel are ringed with standard aluminum and a plastic color rings are released back to nature from Ramat Hanadiv. In 2020, a wild pair of lesser falcons (The male was ringed) started breeding (laid eggs) in a nesting box but the nesting attempt ended tragically, when invasive common mynas killed the female and ate the 4 eggs. This year another pair of lesser kestrels have started to visit the nest box. We hope that the online camera will allow us to better keep track the kestrels breeding in hope that this year they will succeed.
    In 2021 the pair returned, laid 5 eggs and successfully fledged 2 young.
    The camera was added and maintained by the Charter Group Birdcams/ Charter Group of Wildlife Ecology (The Shamir Research Institute and the Department of Geography and Environmental Science of the University of Haifa) and funded by a private donor.

      Well, yes and no. Black rats (Rattus rattus) and young Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) are definitely occasionally part of the kestrel‘s diet. A huge adult brown rat like the one in the Video would be way too big to be targeted by a Kestrel though.

    Actually a rat would be big prey for a Kestrel to take down. Typically they hunt large insects, small birds, and mice. They are about the size of a Rock Pigeon you see in the city. So they are quite small for a Bird of Prey. Not to mention the fact that Rat's in general are pretty brazen and have a good set of chompers in their mouths. They can also inflict damage when they need to. I have nearly 40yrs of experience in the avian field having dealt "hands on" with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey.

      Kestrels kill by using their talons, but they need to be moving quite fast to be effective.
      The rat was probably fairly safe as the mother kestrel didn't have space to attack at speed.

      Not necessarily. Smaller rats can be hunted, but the ideal size of a kestrel prey is a mouse. Adult big rats like this one is too much for its talons.
