Kestrel

This entry is specifically a common (or Eurasian) kestrel, a hovering raptor with a wingspan of approximately 2 -3 feet, with females being larger than males. They can be used for falconry with the proper gear. Although kestrels are easy to train and effective against small prey, their limitations when hunting larger game lower their value, so that a trained kestrel is worth only 20 gp. Kestrels live an average 1d4+14 of years, but may reach as much as 24 years.
