🦅Common Kestrel
Denne artikel omhandler fuglen Tårnfalk. For forsvarets droner (UAV), se Tårnfalk (UAV). Tårnfalken (Falco tinnunculus) er en rovfugl, der findes over store dele af Europa, Asien og Afrika. Den er kendt for at jage mus ved at stå stille i luften på flagrende vinger over f.eks. græsmarker. Denne flyveadfærd kaldes "at muse". Falken har typisk en længde på 32-35 cm, med et vingefang på 71-80 cm. Hannen kan kendes på sit grå hoved, rødbrune ryg og lysegrå hale med det sorte endebånd. Hunnen mangler de klare grå farver. Undersiden er for begge køn lys med sorte prikker og korte bryststriber. Tårnfalken kan i flugten kendes på de spidse vinger.
