It’s not an easy life being a Common Kestrel. There are always Hooded Crows around making your life unpleasant. This one is having a moment of peace in a Rome park.

That is, until a Hooded Crow arrives to make its life a misery.

The Kestrel makes a piercing ‘kee-kee-kee’ sound which is raucous and shrill at the same time.

I get tired watching the harassment.

Just imagine what it must feel like day after day.
