This video shows a kestrel nesting. The kestrel's nest is on a house in the city. A kestrel incubates eggs, brings prey and feeding chicks. Two of them died, and the other chicks ate them. One from hunger and the other from unknown reasons. The kestrel feeds its chicks mainly with small lizards. There were also birds, insects and a few rodents.

The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a bird of prey species belonging to the kestrel group of the falcon family Falconidae. It is also known as the European kestrel, Eurasian kestrel, or Old World kestrel. In the United Kingdom, where no other kestrel species commonly occurs, it is generally just called "kestrel".
This species occurs over a large range. It is widespread in Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as occasionally reaching the east coast of North America. It has colonized a few oceanic islands, but vagrant individuals are generally rare; in the whole of Micronesia for example, the species was only recorded twice each on Guam and Saipan in the Marianas.
