SPECIES OF THE DAY

Eleonora's Falcon

Falco eleonorae

Look closely at three features. Consider posture, pattern and overall appearance together.

  1. 01
    Exceptionally long narrow wingsAt rest the wingtips reach or slightly pass the long tail; in flight they form a slim scythe shape.
  2. 02
    Fine moustache on pale morphOn pale morphs a narrow black moustache combines with a pale cheek and rufous, dark-streaked underparts.
  3. 03
    Dark underwing covertsIn pale and dark adults, the underwing coverts are darker than the flight feathers. In juveniles, this contrast may be less distinct than in adults.
Explore the species One feature alone is not enough. Consider age, plumage and viewing angle too.
