In Andrés Delgado’s image, a Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus dacotiae) perches on black lapilli volcanic gravel, typical of the Canary Islands. The bird displays its characteristic reddish-brown back with black spots and a lighter grey head. Its intense gaze is characterised by dark eyes with a bright yellow ring, matching its yellow legs. The kestrel appears calm but alert, as it usually does when hunting. The image captures fine details of both the bird and its environment. The signature “A. Delgado” and the “biota” logo indicate that this is a project to document the biodiversity of the Canary Islands.
