Isoptera (Harvester Termite Hodotermes mossambicus), followed by Solifugae and Chilopoda, formed the staple food. Lesser Kestrels consumed large quantities of small-sized prey, mainly Isoptera, early in the austral summer, while larger-sized food items, mostly Acrididae, dominated at the end of the non-breeding season. Results from pit trap sampling suggest that Lesser Kestrels are opportunistic foragers utilising the most abundant prey species.}, type={Text}, title={Diet of the migrant lesser kestrels Falco naumanni in their winter quarters in South Africa}, volume={35}, number={2}, journal={Acta Ornithologica}, publisher={Muzeum i Instytut Zoologii PAN}, keywords={Lesser Kestrel, wintering, nutrition, diet, South Africa, birds, Falco naumanni, Falconidae, Aves}, }
