This thesis aims to assess the ecology of the kestrel in Ireland, an island where preferred prey (grassland voles) are not readily available, and where the population of kestrels continues to decline. </p><p></p><p></p><p>This thesis has established baseline information on kestrels in Ireland, with insights tailored for conservation actions. </p><p><i>Thesis is embargoed until 31 July 2028</i>.</p> 2026-10-01T17:00:28Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32633781.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/The_Common_Kestrel_i_Falco_tinnunculus_i_in_Ireland/32633781 All Rights Reserved Open Access after 2028-07-31
