    Hiking

    At the top of the mountain (or the castle keep) of the Wasserschloss Reipoltskirchen, several kestrels are nesting.
    A great sight, as they majestically soar through the air.


    The kestrel has a characteristic hovering flight, where it stays in the air to spot prey on the ground.
    It mainly feeds on small mammals such as voles, but also on birds and insects. It got the name "Turmfalke" (tower falcon) because it nests in church towers, keeps, and other tall buildings. (Source: Google KI)
