Description

The Rock Kestrels (Falco rupicolus) - also known as Eurasian (Rock) Kestrels, Rhode's Kestrels or South African Kestrels - are the most abundant of the small falcons found in southern Africa, where they are most common in the dry west and in the south. They appear to favor rocky terrains - hence this species' common name.

These conspicuous birds-of-prey are often seen perching on electricity poles along the roadside.

The Rock Kestrels were previously considered a subspecies of the Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus); however, based primarily on genetic testing performed by Groombridge et al. (2002) and supported by marked differences in plumage and ecology between Rock and Common Kestrels, this form is now treated as a full species.

Rock Kestrels occur naturally in southern Africa; from northwestern Angola east to southern Democratic Republic of Congo and southern Tanzania, south to South America. They are quite common in Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho and central Mozambique.
