Numbers of kestrels declined in the 1970s, probably as a result of changes in farming & so it is included on the Amber List.

Kestrels are found all year round in a wide variety of habitats, from moor & heath, to farmland & urban areas. The only places they do not favour are dense forests, vast treeless wetlands & mountains. They are a familiar sight hovering beside a motorway or other main road.
