The Banded Kestrel is a medium-sized, elusive falcon endemic to Madagascar, known for its dark plumage and its preference for forested habitats.
Where to spot
Humid evergreen forests and dry deciduous forests on Madagascar.
How to spot
Look for its dark grey upperparts, finely barred underparts, and pale rufous patches on the thighs and vent. It has a distinctive dark eye. Requires patience to spot within its forest habitat.
When to spot
Active during the day, though its secretive nature makes it difficult to observe frequently. Best sought in quiet forest interiors.

Unlike other kestrels that typically hunt in open areas, the Banded Kestrel is adapted to hunting within and along the edges of dense forests.
