Rodents leave urine-based scent trails, but urine has a 'UV color' that these birds can see. If you were a kestrel, you could see lines of urine trails zig-zagging across the coutryside and follow a trail to find your lunch.
Thanks for that explanation. That is really cool. Seems kind of unfair, though.

"Seems kind of unfair, though." Now you know why mice are so prolific.
