Kestrel
(Falco tinnunculus)
A familar sight along the motorways and main roads, they hover above grassland before darting down and catching their prey. How do they spot their prey? Well it turns out they can see ultra violet, which is the same colour as a small mouse's scent, yet invisible to the human eye.
