Where to spot
Found in open habitats such as grasslands, moorlands, marshes, and agricultural fields across North America, Europe, and Asia.
How to spot
Look for its characteristic low-level hunting flight with wings held in a shallow V-shape, quartering over fields. Males are unmistakable with their pale grey plumage; females and juveniles are identified by their streaky brown appearance and bright white rump.
When to spot
Year-round in some resident populations, but more conspicuous during migration and the breeding season (spring/summer). Winter communal roosts can offer excellent viewing opportunities.
