This is towards the bottom of the page and I think it is being said by the RSPB.

 

Other factors being investigated as possible contributors to the decline include: climate change, increased competition for nest sites, a rise in the use of rat poisons and intra-guild predation (which is the negative effects on kestrels from larger predators like goshawks and peregrines).

There were kestrels near me for years until the rspbs favourite peregrines moved in and nested in the quarry where the lived then the kestrels ended up in the peres nest as food I would think that this is quite commonplace

At a peregrine nest site not far from my location seen a peregrine kill a kestrel which surprised me at the time, looks like it could be happening more often than I thought
