First breeding record of Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) in Campo de Tabernas (Almería, Spain)

The Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) is an endangered bird species identified in Annex I of the Birds Directive (79/409/EEC) as requiring special protection measures. It is scarce in Almería, where breeding nuclei were restricted to the plains of Los Vélez (on the northern provincial boundary with Gr...
