Comparative breeding parameters of lesser kestrels in the three studied colonies.

Chick feeding rates were calculated as the number of prey delivered per adult and hour (number of nests sampled in brackets). Chick body condition is shown as the mean residuals of a locally weighted regression (LOESS) between 8th primary feather length and body mass, fledging success as the mean number of fledglings per successful pairs and predation rate as the ratio of predated clutches or broods. Mean values (± SD) and sample sizes are shown. Columns sharing different letters (superscripts) are significantly different (p
