hunkering down over its prey (Zoo; 2012-10-09)
|
Lanner Falcon
Falco biarmicus
Native Range:
Africa and Eurasia
Notes:
a fast-flying raptor of open country and savannahs; slightly smaller than the similar Peregrine Falcon; diet consists mostly of small birds; like many raptors, it hunkers down in a protective stance (with wings spread) over any prey it has recently caught; like all falcons, it has long pointed wings.
