These two villains are conspicuous residents at the moment and constantly looking for opportunities to annoy each other. The crow can't match the aerial virtuosity of the kestrel, but he has a wide range of vocal techniques which he's prepared to employ to throw his rival off his stride (or wingbeat). 
This afternoon as the kestrel hovered low over the moor the crow uttered a distracting rattle from the top of the wall. That incensed the kestrel who responded by swooping past him only an inch or so away before perching on the nearby post. From the sounds it's probably a good job my innocent ears could not translate the language.
