The common kestrel hunts vertebrate animals in a small, familiar hunting ground, whereas the very similar lesser
kestrel feeds on insects over a large area. The common kestrel roost and hunts alone, but the lesser kestrel roosts and
hunts in flocks, possibly so one bird can learn from others where to find insect swarms.
Finally, there is safety in numbers at communal roosts since there will always be a few birds awake at any
given moment to give the alarm . But this increased protection is partially counteracted by the fact that mass roosts
attract predators and are especially vulnerable if they are on the ground. Even those in trees can be attacked by birds of
prey. The birds on the edge are at greatest risk since predators find it easier to catch small birds perching at the margins
of the roost.
