Falco naumanni Fleischer, 1818.

Length 32 cm. Similar to the Common Kestrel but the chestnut mantle is plain, not spotted; the head and upper wing coverts are grey; there is no black tear mark on the cheek, and the claws are white, not black. The Lesser Kestrel lives in open semi-desert with low cliffs and hills. Its main prey is a variety of flying and terrestrial insects, chiefly crickets, grasshoppers, locusts, and large beetles. This is a globally vulnerable species and is an uncommon or rare migrant in Sinai and the Eastern Desert.
