The Seychelles kestrel, locally known as the katiti, is a small species of bird of prey endemic to the Seychelles Islands, where it is the only breeding bird of prey. Its call is particularly loud and shrill.
This kestrel inhabits farmlands, scrubs and forests of the Seychelles, and can sometimes be seen around rock faces and houses. It often sits on an exposed perch, and swoops down on lizards and skinks, but also rats, insects, small birds and frogs. |
